Joe Cole and Raul Meireles have been named in the Liverpool squad for the trip to Prague - but Steven Gerrard and Daniel Agger miss out.

The boss also revealed that record signing Andy Carroll will travel to the Czech Republic - but the No.9 will not be involved in the match.

He said: "He won't be considered for the game but will travel just to get in and amongst the lads. It'll help him to feel a part of it."

There are also places on the plane for youngsters Conor Coady, John Flanagan, Jack Robinson and Raheem Sterling. Tom Ince has also travelled.

Liverpool squad: Reina, Jones, Gulacsi, Johnson, Flanagan, Aurelio, Robinson, Kyrgiakos, Wilson, Carragher, Kelly, Skrtel, Meireles, Cole, Maxi, Jovanovic, Lucas, Coady, Ince, Sterling, Pacheco, Kuyt, Ngog.
Travelled: Andy Carroll

hope tat we scores few goals for a comfortable lead and let some of these youngster get some playing time... Raheem Sterling could well become Liverpool’s youngest player if the striker, who scored five on Monday in Liverpool’s 9-0 rout of Southend in the FA Youth Cup, plays at 16 years and 71 days...
