Liverpool fans have reacted with disappointment on social media to the announcement that highly rated Mateusz Musialowski has not made the squad for the Shrewsbury Town clash.
The promising polish youngster has 19 goals in 43 appearances for the under 18s and Under 23s but is yet to make his first team debut.
Many fans have taken to social media to express their dismay that the exciting prospect doesn't start despite the Reds' suffering from a host of missing personnel due to positive Covid tests.

A number of fans tweeted their reaction to the team news, with a number naming Musialowski as a player they'd wanted to see.
One said: "Musialowski misses out. Wonder what happened to him? Injured or he is just not thought as ready etc."
Another fan tweeted: "What happened to Musialowski?"
And another one commented: "No Musialowski are you kidding me?"
"Was really hoping Musialowski would've been in the squad today."
However, many fans were excited with the inclusion of winger Kaide Gordon.
Gordon made his bow in the 3-0 win at Norwich in the Carabao Cup earlier this season and is thought of as a highly thought of prospect, and some fans have revealed their excitement at seeing the 17-year-old line up in Liverpool's attack today.
"Kaide Gordon starts. I’ll take that," was one comment.
Another read: "Looking forward to seeing Kaide Gordon."
Liverpool go into today's tie with four teenagers starting as well as featuring squad debuts for youngsters Melkamu Frauendorf and Isaac Mabaya.
