(Reuters) - Teenaged striker Ben Woodburn has been left out of Liverpool's squad for the Champions League group game against Spartak Moscow on Tuesday despite his heroics for Wales.

The 17-year-old, who scored on his international debut to give Wales a World Cup qualifying win over Austria this month, remained with Liverpool's under-19 squad while the 20-man senior squad prepared to fly to Russia on Monday.
