UEFA Champions League : Genk's Nigeria International Tipped To Start Vs Liverpool

Published: November 05, 2019

Paul Onuachu has been tipped to be named in Genk's starting line-up when they trade tackles with Liverpool on matchday four in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday evening.

The Nigeria international made his first ever Champions League in the first leg tie on October 23 and everything indicates that he is likely to retain his place in the starting line-up.

Speaking to Liverpool's official website Het Belang van Limburg journalist Sven Claes said :''Finland international Jere Uronen is out for several weeks with an ankle injury, so Belgian Casper de Norre will start as left wing-back.

''I expect Mazzu will play again - like in the first match - with target man Paul Onuachu up front.''

Onuachu has played 32 games in European competitions, scoring ten goals in the colours of past club FC Midtjylland.

Nigeria U23 international Stephen Odey was in Genk's traveling party to Liverpool while Shawn Adewoye is also in Merseyside but with Genk's U19 squad and started the ongoing game in the UEFA Youth League.
