Liverpool’s rising star, Trey Nyoni, is intensifying his training with the senior team as they prepare for a crucial Round of 16 second leg encounter against Sparta Prague on Thursday.

At just 16 years old, Nyoni is making waves in his debut season at Anfield, impressing with his performances in the Academy.

His standout displays have earned him opportunities with the Reds’ senior squad, culminating in his senior debut in the FA Cup last month.

Despite his promising talent, Nyoni will not be eligible to join the squad for Thursday’s Europa League fixture due to UEFA regulations.

According to UEFA statutes, players must be 21 years old or younger and have been with the club for at least two years to be eligible for List B registration in the Europa League squad.Having only joined Liverpool from Leicester City seven months ago, Nyoni falls short of meeting the eligibility criteria for List B.

However, he remains committed to his development and aims to make his mark in European competitions once he fulfills the necessary requirements, either by being registered on List A or completing his two-year tenure at Liverpool.
