Liverpool have named a 31-man travelling party for their training camp in Spain this week.

With the Reds' fixture schedule clear until a Champions League meeting with Bayern Munich on February 19, they are set for a four-day stay in Marbella.

A number of academy starlets have been included in Jurgen Klopp's selection and will be given the chance to impress in Andalusia.

Adam Lewis, Nathaniel Phillips, Corey Whelan and Ki-Jana Hoever are among those who will hope to make an impression on the boss.

Long-term injury absentees Rhian Brewster and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have also been named in the squad but will simply continue their rehabilitation alongside their teammates.

However, that will not be the case for Joe Gomez, who will remain on Merseyside as he continues to recover from surgery on a broken leg.

Liverpool's stint in Spain comes in the build-up to what could be a decisive week in their season.

Five days after the first leg of their European last-16 clash with Bayern, Klopp's team head to Old Trafford for a crunch clash with rivals Manchester United.

Liverpool travelling party: Fabinho, Van Dijk, Wijnaldum, Lovren, Milner, Keita, Firmino, Mane, Salah, Alisson, Henderson, Sturridge, Moreno, Lallana, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mignolet, Shaqiri, Brewster, Robertson, Origi, Matip, Phillips, Jones, Hoever, Woodburn, Kelleher, Camacho, Alexander-Arnold, Christie-Davies, Whelan, Lewis.
