Alexander Isak has been named in a Liverpool squad for the first time since fracturing his leg in December, with the Swede among a 21-man party that has headed to France to face Paris Saint-Germain.
Isak had returned to first-team training last Thursday but was omitted from the squad that lost 4-0 to Manchester City in the FA Cup at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
But he is now in line to return to action for the first time since he broke a bone in his leg when being challenged by Tottenham Hotspur’s Micky van de Ven in the act of scoring at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium just before Christmas.

Isak was pictured training with the Reds squad on Tuesday afternoon, with no new injury issues reported for the trip to the French capital.
Goalkeeper Alisson Becker remains out and hoopes to return from his hamstring injury in late April, while Wataru Endo, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni all have longer term issues.
Liverpool travelling squad: Gomez, Van Dijk, Konate, Kerkez, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Isak, Mac Allister, Salah, Chiesa, Jones, Gakpo, Ekitike, Mamardashvili, Robertson, Woodman, Frimpong, Gravenberch, Nyoni, Ngumoha, Misciur.
