Zimbabweans Isaac Mabaya and Trey Nyoni have been included in Liverpool’s squad for the Champions League this season.

Mabaya, an academy player, has been registered on the Reds’ B List, making him eligible to play for the senior team.

Nyoni, who joined Liverpool Academy last year, has been registered as a first-team player on List A, allowing him to participate in both the Champions League and UEFA Youth League. This exemption is due to UEFA statutes requiring players to be 21 or under and have been with the club for two years to be eligible for List B.

Nyoni captained Liverpool’s U19 team in their goalless draw against AC Milan U19 in the Youth League on Tuesday, marking his European competition debut.

Mabaya, yet to play this season, was not part of the Academy squad for Tuesday’s game.

The inclusion of Mabaya and Nyoni in Liverpool’s UEFA squad highlights the Zimbabwean duo’s promising potential.
