Carlo Ancelotti, manager of Real Madrid, has named a 23-man squad for the Champions League.
Los Blancos will travel to Liverpool without two key midfielders, with a 23-man squad announced on Monday.
Real Madrid are on their way to Merseyside ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League last-16 first leg, riding a four-game winning streak.
This includes a win at the Club World Cup, and a 2-0 win over Osasuna on Saturday kept them in touch with LaLiga leaders Barcelona.
Karim Benzema missed that game, raising questions about his participation at Anfield, but the French striker was confirmed to be part of the 23-man squad flying to England.
Toni Kroos and Aurelien Tchouameni, both midfielders, are out after failing to return to training.
Luka Modric, Vinicius Jr., David Alaba, Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, and Rodrygo will all travel, with a strong Real side expected.
Eden Hazard will also travel, but the Belgian is no longer a key player after seeing his reputation deteriorate dramatically since leaving Chelsea.
Carlo Ancelotti is expected to make a few changes to the team that defeated Osasuna at the weekend, having shuffled his pack in preparation for the first leg.
Dani Carvajal has already been confirmed to return to right-back, while Benzema and Camavinga could also be called up.
