Liverpool confirm 23-man Premier League squad – 7 homegrown players named – Liverpool FC

Liverpool have named 23 players in their Premier League squad for 2022/23, with seven Reds listed as home players for the season.

With the summer transfer window now behind us, each team had to submit their final team list earlier this month.

The Reds made four new additions over the summer, with Darwin Nunez, Fabio Carvalho and Calvin Ramsay being joined by Arthur on deadline day when Jurgen Klopp made one last midfield signing.

The Premier League allows a 25-player complement if there are eight local names on the roster, but the club have named just seven and fielded a squad of 23.

The home contingent remains the same as it was at the start of last season, including: Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Nat Phillips, Joe Gomez, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Caoimhin Kelleher.

Phillips hasn’t moved over the summer and is Klopp’s fifth-choice centre-back and a valuable homegrown asset, but another January move on the horizon like last season cannot be ruled out.

At first glance, you may wonder where some notable names are, but the likes of Harvey Elliott, Curtis Jones, and Carvalho are registered as players under 21.

Stefan Bajcetic, Ramsay, Kaide Gordon, Bobby Clark, Luke Chambers and Isaac Mabaya are also included on the U-21 roster, among many others from the academy ranks.

This team is locked until January, and no changes are allowed until the winter window.
