Twenty-one players have already made at least five Premier League appearances for 2024-25 champions Liverpool this season, guaranteeing them a medal.
They are:
-
Goalkeepers – Alisson Becker, Caoimhin Kelleher
-
Defenders – Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Bradley, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez, Jarell Quansah, Andrew Robertson, Kostas Tsimikas
-
Midfielders – Ryan Gravenberch, Wataru Endo, Alexis Mac Allister, Harvey Elliott, Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai
-
Forwards – Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo
Italian forward Federico Chiesa, who signed for about £10m from Juventus last summer, has made only four appearances in the Premier League this season, totalling 33 minutes.
Meanwhile, third-choice goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros and young striker Jayden Danns, now on loan at Sunderland, have played a single game each.
Awarding a medal to those three players would mean Liverpool still have 16 to allocate as they wish.
Manager Arne Slot and his two assistants, Sipke Hulshoff and former Everton defender Johnny Heitinga, will almost certainly be awarded medals. The likes of physical performance coach Ruben Peeters, individual performance coach Aaron Briggs, and goalkeeping coach Fabian Otte could be next in line.
There are also seven other young players who have not featured in the Premier League for Liverpool this season but have played in other competitions. They are Trent Kone-Doherty, Isaac Mabaya, James McConnell, Tyler Morton, Rio Ngumoha, Amara Nallo and Trey Nyoni.
Even if Liverpool were to allocate a medal to all of the above, there would still be three remaining.
