Full list of Liverpool players at Fifa World Cup Qatar 2022
How many Liverpool players are at the 2022 Fifa World Cup?
The Reds will be missing just seven first-team players over the World Cup break, with the majority of their squad remaining intact for a month's worth of preparation at Melwood. This is a lower number than many of their rivals at the top end of the Premier League, with every side currently above them bar Newcastle (Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, and Brighton), as well as Chelsea, having more players appearing at the finals in Qatar.
Some of their key names will be away from North-West England over November and December, including captain Jordan Henderson, goalkeeper Alisson and talismanic defender Virgil van Dijk. However, top scorer Mohamed Salah has not travelled, with Egypt having not qualified for the World Cup.
Brazil qualified, and were favourites among many to win in Qatar, but they left prolific Reds forward Roberto Firmino at home, which will be bittersweet for Jurgen Klopp as he prepares for the restart.
