Cork teenager Caoimhin Kelleher has been included in Liverpool’s Champions League squad for the final in Madrid.

The third-choice goalkeeper has travelled as a change in UEFA regulations means managers are allowed to name up to 12 substitutes for the final.

Kelleher featured regularly for Jürgen Klopp's side during the 2018 pre-season.

Teenager Rhian Brewster, who has yet to make a senior appearance, is also included.
