Crystal Palace name severely depleted squad for Liverpool friendly clash in Singapore

Crystal Palace will be without a number of key players for the meeting against Liverpool this Friday in Singapore.

The Eagles jetted off to Singapore on Tuesday to begin their pre-season tour, starting with a clash against Jurgen Klopp 's side at the National Stadium later this week. They'll then head to Australia for games against Premier League duo Manchester United and Leeds United.

However, manager Patrick Vieira will have a limited selection with just 10 first team players flying out for the tour. 26 players in total have travelled, compared to Liverpool 's 37 that flew out to Thailand over the weekend.

Vieira will be without some big names in Michael Olise, Wilfried Zaha, Christian Benteke, Marc Guehi, Eberechi Eze, Will Hughes, Jeffrey Schlupp and James McArthur. New signings Sam Johnstone and Cheick Doucoure also miss out.

Those who have not travelled will remain in London and undergo training sessions led by the club's assistant manager Osian Roberts. Palace confirmed those that miss out are either 'not currently fit', while others did not meet the entry requirements for Singapore or Australia when their travel arrangements were made.

Former Red Nathaniel Clyne has travelled, as did Luka Milivojevic, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Jordan Ayew and Odsonne Edouard. 16 members of the travelling squad are academy players, or those whom did not make a single Premier League appearance for the club last season.

While there is plenty of youth in Liverpool's 37-man squad for the tour, the majority of the first team travelled and got a crucial run out against Manchester United on Monday. The Reds were beaten 4-0 by their bitter rivals, but it was the first chance for supporters to catch a glimpse of new signings Fabio Carvalho and Darwin Nunez.

Liverpool will hope for a better result when they take on Palace later this week as they continue their preparations for the upcoming season.

Crystal Palace squad in full:

Vicente Guaita , Jack Butland , Remi Matthews, Joachim Andersen , Nathaniel Clyne, Tyrick Mitchell , Joel Ward , Tayo Adaramola, Jake O’Brien, Cardo Siddik, Dan Quick, Kaden Rodney, Luka Milivojevic , Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, Malcolm Ebiowei, Jadan Raymond, Malachi Boateng, David Ozoh, Killian Phillips, Scott Banks, Jean-Philippe Mateta , Odsonne Edouard , Jordan Ayew , Rob Street, Victor Akinwale, Ademola Ola-Adebomi
