How will Andoni Iraola set up the Reds to take on this challenge in Turkey?

We’ll find out shortly…

Former Liverpool midfielder, Dirk Kuyt, is the interim manager of Fenerbahce and will lead the team tonight.

Of his return to Liverpool he spoke about what he is expecting from the game.

“Romelu [Lukaku] was speaking about how important it is to show the fans – who deserve much more – a reaction of positive energy and a good performance,” Kuyt said at his pre-match press conference on Tuesday.

“We have really good players but we need to show up. When we show up tomorrow with good energy, with passion and there to play, I think it can be a very special night.”

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola spoke about Ryan Gravenberch and his injury.

Iraola explained:“It’s a fracture of the heel. It’s about the pain. He has been with some discomfort.

“The other day against Arsenal he was warming up and he was not fully confident.

“He hasn’t improved since then. But it’s going to be something that every day we ask him, every day we see how he is.”

Defender Nathan Ake and midfielder Marco Asensio will miss the match against the Red as the pair are injured.

Jayden Oosterwolde has been out of action since August and there is a doubt over the availability of Kojo Peprah Oppong.

Andoni Iraola will be without Ryan Gravenberch who has a heel injury while Federico Chiesa and Wataru Endo are unavailable having not been named in the Reds’ submitted ‘A’ squad for the league phase.

Jeremie Frimpong is sidelined with a muscle issue, while Conor Bradley, Hugo Ekitike and Giovanni Leoni continue to recover from long-term injuries.

The clash between Fenerbahce and Liverpool will kick off at 5.45pm GMT and viewers can watch the game on TNT Sports 1 when broadcast begins at 5pm.

TNT Sports subscribers can stream the match via the HBO Max app.

Liverpool are set to reward Trey Nyoni with a new contract, according to The Athletic.

The 19-year-old has made the step up to Liverpool’s first team this season and made his first Premier League start in the defeat against Arsenal on Sunday.

He has featured heavily in Liverpool’s Champions League campaign so far and could deputise again for Ryan Gravenberch in Istanbul this season.

“Trey just has to continue in the same way as since the beginning of pre-season, be ready for all of the games,” Andoni Iraola said before facing Fenerbahce.

“We trust him, he’s doing very well. We have to encourage him to continue learning, improving and getting experience. But he’s in a very good place.”

The Reds rejected a £30m bid from Nottingham Forest this summer and made clear to Nyoni that he was part of their plans this season, having not signed a replacement for Curtis Jones after he joined Inter Milan.
