Jurgen Klopp’s starting lineup for Liverpool’s Europa League match against Sparta Prague has changed three times, with Mohamed Salah returning from injury.
The Premier League and Czech First League leaders meet in the Europa League this evening, with the Reds looking to maintain their momentum with a crucial victory.
After being beset by injuries in recent weeks, Liverpool’s position is improving, albeit Klopp has picked a rotated squad against Stadion Letna.
Caoimhin Kelleher made his sixth consecutive start in Alisson’s absence, with Joe Gomez, Jarell Quansah, Ibrahima Konate, and Andy Robertson forming the back four.

Wataru Endo begins at No. 6, with Harvey Elliott and Alexis MacAllister in more advanced midfield positions. With Salah back on the bench, Klopp fields a front line of Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz, and Darwin Nunez. Virgil van Dijk is one of the more experienced alternatives in reserve and might replace Konate at half-time, with one eye on Sunday’s visit to Manchester City.
Mateusz Musialowski, a 20-year-old forward named to his first matchday roster, may also make his debut.
Liverpool lineup: Kelleher; Gomez, Quansah, Konate, Robertson; Endo, Elliott, MacAllister; Gakpo, Diaz, Nunez.
