Supporters have spotted that both Oumar Niasse and Cuco Martina are missing from the team photo despite both players being part of the first-team squad for the season after both names remained at the club over the summer.
The duo were both sent out on loan last season, yet despite the overall idea that they would both leave over the transfer window, Niannse and Martina have both remained at the Merseyside club.
The duo are yet to play a minute with the senior squad this season as numbers from Transfermarkt show, and supporters on social media questioned the club as to why Niasse and Martina were absent from the 2019/20 first-team club photo.
Here is what some fans had to say on Twitter…
Niasse and Martina officially relegated to the wilderness. Oof
