Kabak is, however, no stranger to Champions League football having previously played in the group stage for Galatasaray aged just 18.
Kabak will start in a center-back role alongside midfielder Jordan Henderson who will be playing as a makeshift defender.
The 20-year-old was involved in a misunderstanding with Alisson Becker in the 3-1 defeat against Leicester City which saw the keeper crash into him leaving Jamie Vardy free to slot the ball into an empty net.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is facing a defensive crisis with Virgil Van Dijk, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez and Fabinho all out injured.
