Liverpool are already missing both of their established senior right-backs for the visit of PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League<\/a> \u2013 but they now without another option.<\/p>\n

Calvin Ramsay<\/a> will be unavailable when Liverpool host Eredivisie leaders PSV in the Champions League<\/a> on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

It comes after the Scot filled the bench for the 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest<\/a> at the weekend, which marked his first involvement in the Premier League<\/a> in over three years.<\/p>\n

Why Calvin Ramsay can\u2019t play in Champions League<\/p>\n

\"LIVERPOOL,<\/p>\n

Ramsay is not eligible for any of Liverpool\u2019s Champions League<\/a> league phase ties as he was not registered in Arne Slot<\/a>\u2018s 22-man senior squad.<\/p>\n

Having turned 22 in July, he would have been required to take a place on List A and would have done so as a non-homegrown player.<\/p>\n

With only 17 non-homegrown spots available, Slot had already been forced to cut one of his first-team regulars when naming his squad in September, with Federico Chiesa<\/a> initially left out for Rio Ngumoha<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"LIVERPOOL,<\/p>\n

Chiesa was then brought in following a season-ending ACL injury for Giovanni Leoni<\/a>, with Liverpool employing the new UEFA rule on replacing long-term absentees.<\/p>\n

But even in the event of another serious injury or illness \u2013 such as Jeremie Frimpong<\/a>\u2018s current hamstring issue \u2013 there would be no route into the squad for Ramsay as rule 31.14.c can only be applied once for outfielders.<\/p>\n

And no longer eligible for List B, with an unlimited number of qualifying under-21s able to be registered, the right-back cannot make the squad against PSV or any of the three subsequent Champions League<\/a> fixtures.<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s right-back options vs. PSV Eindhoven<\/p>\n

\"LIVERPOOL,<\/p>\n

Without another natural right-back in Ramsay \u2013 who impressed despite defeat as a rotated side lost 3-0 to Crystal Palace<\/a> in the Carabao Cup<\/a> \u2013 Slot has another big decision to make for Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Dominik Szoboszlai<\/a> started in the role in Saturday\u2019s loss to Nottingham Forest<\/a>, but the Hungarian\u2019s influence is clearly limited when played out of position.<\/p>\n

The most obvious stand-in for midweek is Joe Gomez<\/a>, who Slot explained was not fit enough to start on Saturday but could be more prepared four days later.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Curtis Jones<\/a> is also available, while depth could be provided from the academy in the likes of Lucas Pitt, 18, Josh Davidson, 20, or Terence Miles, 21.<\/p>\n

Neither Frimpong nor Conor Bradley<\/a> are expected back until mid-to-late December, with Ramsay likely to return to the squad for the trip to West Ham<\/a> in the Premier League<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool are already missing both of their established senior right-backs for the visit of PSV Eindhoven in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":282464,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[97718,59,115298,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-282463","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-calvin-ramsay","9":"tag-gb","10":"tag-liverpool-vs-psv-eindhoven","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=282463"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282463\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/282464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=282463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=282463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=282463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
