Liverpool confirm squad number changes for key players

Liverpool have confirmed the squad number changes for both Alisson Becker and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Goalkeeper Alisson will switch from number 13 to become the club's new number one, with Loris Karius remaining on loan at Besiktas for a further season.

Meanwhile, midfielder Oxlade-Chamberlain will now wear the number 15 shirt, switching from 21. Daniel Sturridge, who previously wore 15, has now departed the club after his contract expired.

Oxlade-Chamberlain paid out of his own pocket to reimburse supporters who had bought a shirt with his name and old number on the back after the switch was announced in early June.

He had worn the number 21 jersey at Liverpool since arriving from Arsenal in a £35m deal in August 2017.

The Reds confirmed the two new numbers on their official website, ahead of the squad's return to training later this week.
