Adrian was left off of Liverpool’s Europa League roster, but he might still participate.
Adrian San Miguel has been left off of Liverpool’s roster for the Europa League group stages.
This Is Anfield is aware that the Spaniard was not chosen by the Reds for the opening round of the competition.
Because UEFA and Premier League criteria differ, Jurgen Klopp was forced to make a difficult choice about the make-up of his team for Europe this season.
Ryan Gravenberch and Ben Doak are both eligible to be enrolled as U21 players for the league this season despite neither having homegrown status.
However, such is not the situation in Europe, where both can only be featured on television shows alongside other international celebrities.
Adrian was compelled to drop out as a result, leaving Klopp with 18 players and just 17 places in which to register them.
The 36-year-old’s chances of playing in the Europa League this season were bleak as the third-choice goalkeeper behind Caoimhin Kelleher and Alisson Becker.
His absence is believed to be due to a UEFA loophole, though, which could still allow him to play in some manner.
According to the rules, a replacement goalie may be used if any named goalkeepers are sidelined for an extended period of time due to an illness or injury.
Therefore, the Reds would be able to use Adrian in Europe if the loss of either Alisson or Kelleher reduced their alternatives between the posts.
