Alisson Becker will be Liverpool's Champions League goalkeeper after Jurgen Klopp opted not to rotate his number one in the competition this season.

Last year, Loris Karius was chosen as the Reds' keeper in the group stages despite Simon Mignolet having featured in the qualifying round against Hoffenheim and in the majority of the Premier League games during the first half of the campaign.

Karius was then retained for the knockout stages after Klopp chose to make the German his overall first-choice between the sticks in the New Year.

Klopp, though, will not repeat such rotation this season and will instead stick with Alisson when the Champions League group stage starts later this month.

The Reds have been drawn in Group C alongside Paris Saint-Germain of France, Serie A side Napoli and Serbian champions Red Star Belgrade.

With Karius having started a two-year loan at Besiktas, Mignolet is now understudy to Alisson and is expected to be Liverpool's domestic cup goalkeeper.

The Reds face Chelsea at home in the Carabao Cup third round later this month.

Meanwhile, Lazar Markovic has been omitted from the Liverpool squad registered for Premier League duty this season.

The Serbian winger rejected a £2.9million move to Anderlecht on transfer deadline day last Friday having failed to agree personal terms with the Belgian side.

Markovic now faces at least four months in the wilderness before the January transfer window.
