Salah starts against Ajax

CAIRO-21 October 2020: Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp announced the team starting line-up for UEFA Champions League opener against Ajax.

The Reds hope to bounce back from the domestic setbacks in the Champions League competition.

Klopp will count on the Reds’ deadly trio, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane, in the game against the four-time winners.

Liverpool’s starting line-up for the game consists of: Adrian, Jones, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Robertson, Milner, Wijnaldum, Salah, Mane and Firmino.  

Liverpool, one of the best teams in the world, hope to have a good start in the competition they last won in 2019.

Klopp believes that the team will have a tough game against Ajax, saying “Ajax is a top club. Two years ago they were in the semi-final of the Champions League. Yes, they lost some players but again they have a top team in line and there's nothing to feel sorry for. It's just really good to do it the Ajax way.”

The game starts on 9:00 pm.
