Jayden Danns joins Liverpool squad for Champions League match against Atletico

Forward Jayden Danns returns to the Liverpool matchday squad for tonight's Champions League fixture against Atletico Madrid at Anfield. The 20-year-old has been sidelined for 50 weeks due to recurring injuries, including a hamstring issue that interrupted his recovery in March. Bradley Barcola is set to make his full debut for the club following his high-profile transfer from Paris Saint-Germain. Cody Gakpo remains unavailable for selection as a precautionary measure after missing training sessions earlier this week. While Danns is named among the substitutes, his extended absence suggests he is unlikely to feature in the match. The team faces a potential rotation of the lineup for the upcoming Carabao Cup game against Tottenham Hotspur next Tuesday.
