Irish Youngster Back In Squad As Liverpool Name Team For Merseyside Derby

A week after earning his spot on the bench for Liverpool's huge 3-0 win over Man City, Conor Masterson is back in the matchday squad for today's Merseyside derby.

Masterson is a 19-year-old defender for Liverpool FC who originally hails from Dublin. His performances for Lucan United earned him a move to the Reds when he was just 16. He has played for the Republic of Ireland at youth level, from the U16 grade all the way up to U19.

The bad news for Liverpool fans is Mo Salah is out of the squad due to the injury he picked up against Man City while Firmino is on the bench.
