Liverpool team news: Jurgen Klopp's squad for Champions League opener against Napoli

Defending champions Liverpool have announced the 20 players that will be travelling to Naples ahead of the first round of Champions League group games this week.

Adrian remains Liverpool’s primary goalkeeper, and is joined by Andy Lonergan and youngster Caoimhin Kelleher.
