Latest Liverpool vs Real Madrid squad information
Liverpool received a small boost in squad numbers for their trip to Southampton, with Harvey Elliott returning to the squad for the first time in more than two months due to a foot injury. However, Alisson Becker (hamstring), Diogo Jota (abdomen), Federico Chiesa (fitness) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (hamstring) are all absent.
Manager Arne Slot admitted that Alexander-Arnold is the only member of that group who is likely to return in the early hours of 28 November, and Liverpool could make a few changes after their unconvincing performance at St Mary's. Alexis Mac Allister and Luis Diaz - two South American stars - are likely to start in place of Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo, as happened in the second half of Sunday's match.
As for Real Madrid, the visitors are likely to be without Vinicius Junior after he suffered a hamstring injury in the win over Leganes. While the club have not given a specific recovery timeframe, reports suggest the Brazilian will be out for several weeks. He joins an already long injury list that includes David Alaba, Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao (all knee), Rodrygo (muscle), Aurelien Tchouameni (ankle) and Lucas Vazquez (muscle).
Coach Carlo Ancelotti has not ruled out Tchouameni or Vazquez returning in midweek, but Real are likely to travel to Anfield with a similar line-up from their win over Leganes.
If Vinicius is absent, Brahim Diaz could be picked to fill the void in attack. With the defence in disarray, 21-year-old Castilla centre-back Raul Asencio could be given a chance to make his Champions League debut.
Latest expected lineup for Liverpool vs Real Madrid

Latest Liverpool vs Real Madrid football commentary
It was fitting that manager Arne Slot will get the chance to shake Carlo Ancelotti's hand after joining a special coaching club on Sunday, as Mohamed Salah inspired Liverpool to a stunning second-half comeback to beat Southampton 3-2 in a top-vs-bottom clash.
Before continuing to make headlines with his shocking post-match comments, Salah, in his ever-excellent form, scored two decisive goals on the south coast to secure Slot's 10th win in his first 12 Premier League games, a feat only matched by Guus Hiddink and Ancelotti himself, and put Liverpool eight points clear of second place ahead of Sunday's crunch clash with the reigning champions.
In the Champions League, a 4-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen kept Liverpool unbeaten in the competition this season, making them the only team in the 36 participating teams with a perfect record. The last time they won their first five Champions League matches was in the 2021-22 season.
Although Liverpool's performance at St Mary's was sluggish at times, Salah's brilliance has helped Jurgen Klopp's side score at least two goals in their last six games in all competitions, and they will now hope to end their winless run against Real Madrid.
Since the 2018 and 2022 Champions League finals, Liverpool have gone eight games without a win against Real Madrid, with the team winning seven and drawing one of their last eight meetings, since a 0-4 defeat at Anfield in 2009.
However, Ancelotti's men have failed to overcome two major title challenges this season, with a 1-0 defeat to Lille in October and a 3-1 home defeat to AC Milan on November 5, where former Real striker Alvaro Morata came back to haunt his former club.
Real Madrid are currently 18th in the Champions League table and will miss out on seeding for the knockout stages unless they improve their form. However, the 15-time European champions have shown improvement, winning their last two La Liga games 7-0, beating Osasuna 4-0 and Leganes 3-0.
While the La Liga title race remains intriguing, Real’s current objective is to avoid an unprecedented Champions League scenario: losing three group stage games in a single season. The match against Liverpool at Anfield will also be a memorable one for Los Blancos, after they thrashed Jurgen Klopp’s men 5-2 in the first leg of their 2022-23 Champions League round of 16 tie, before completing a 1-0 win in the return leg.
