Liverpool 24-man squad 'confirmed' for Real Madrid after Stefan Bajcetic boost

Stefan Bajcetic has travelled with the Liverpool squad to Madrid for their Champions League round-of-16 second leg clash with Real Madrid.

The young Spaniard missed open training on Tuesday afternoon, along with captain Jordan Henderson, but linked up with his team-mates at John Lennon Airport as Jurgen Klopp’s men departed for Spain.

Henderson wasn’t pictured with the travelling party, with Klopp set to offer an update on his absence at his pre-match press conference at the Bernabeu on Tuesday night. Meanwhile, Luis Diaz and Thiago Alcantara also remained sidelined.
