Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has been named among the 20-man squad, who will play for the Reds at the Fifa Club World Cup.

The Reds, who are participating in this tournament as the Uefa Champions League holders, are set to start their adventure in the tournament against Monterrey on Wednesday, December 18 at Khalifa International Stadium (19:30 CLT).

Dejan Lovren was ruled out of the squad after sustaining a muscle injury against Salzburg earlier this week.

The 20-man squad is as follows

Goalkeepers: Alisson, Adrian, Lonergan, Robertson,

Defenders: Van Dijk, Gomezm, Henderson, Alexander-Arnold, Williams

Midfielders: Wijnaldum, Milner, Keita, Mane, Salah, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lallana, Shaqiri, Jones

Forwards: Origi, Firmino

Salah led Liverpool to maintain their unbeaten start to the Premier League season after defeating Watford with two unanswered goals on Saturday.

Mo Salah had put his side ahead after a brilliant combination play between Firmino, Mane, and Salah, who toed a right-footed curler that drifted into the far corner in the 38th minute.

The iconic Egyptian star doubled his side’s lead in the 90th minute, when Origi’s shot fell to Salah who put the ball into the back of the net with a beautiful flick to seal the victory and punish Watford for a number of missed chances.

Noteworthy, the Reds managed to qualify for the last 16 of the Uefa Champions League crushing Salzburg with two unanswered goals on Tuesday.

The iconic Egyptian star dazzled the whole world with his second goal against Salzburg when he ran on to a pass by Henderson, took the ball away from the keeper and then clipped it into the net.
