Liverpool begin their 2023/24 Carabao Cup campaign on Wednesday night as Leicester City visit Anfield - and this is the group of players Jurgen Klopp will be able to select
Trent Alexander-Arnold is ruled out of Liverpool's Carabao Cup third-round tie against Leicester City despite making a positive step in his recovery from a hamstring injury.
Assistant manager Pep Lijnders provided a positive update with regards to the full-back's health, stating he has made a partial return to team training. However Wednesday's cup match will come too soon, with the upcoming Premier League trip to Tottenham Hotspur a more likely target.

The Reds are the most successful club in the competition's 63-year history, winning it on nine occasions - the most recent being part of 2021/22's cup double winning campaign. That season they defeated Leicester due to a late fightback and penalty shoot-out in front of the Kop in the quarter-final round.
