“Danny (Ings), Douglas (Luiz) and Bertrand (Traore) are still out. Ezri (Konsa) has had his appeal upheld, so he’ll be missing as well. Morgan (Sanson) coming back is good for us. Whether he’s fit enough to start is something we’ll have to weigh up.”

~ Thomas Tuchel on (Alonso)

Ruled out: Roberto Firmino (hamstring), Joe Gomez (calf), Curtis Jones (eye), Naby Keita (hamstring), James Milner (hamstring) and Harvey Elliott (ankle).

“Bobby (Firmino) is not good news with a serious hamstring injury, really unfortunate. We don’t know exactly how long he will be out but it will be not now after the international break directly. Usually when you have an injury before the international break, you think, ‘OK, after the international break they are ready’ but that is not directly the moment when Bobby will be ready again, probably.”
~ Jurgen Klopp on (Firmino)

Ruled out: Ferran Torres (foot) and Aymeric Laporte (suspended).

Man Utd

Ruled out: Paul Pogba (suspended) and Raphael Varane (hamstring).
Might play: Victor Lindelof (knock).

“With all the technology, you expect him (Varane) to be out for four-to-five weeks. It’s a blow for us as he’s come in and been really influential, but Eric (Bailly) came in last time and was exceptional. We’ve got a couple of players doubtful, unfortunately, but that’s part of the game. We’ll just have to give them as much time as possible.”
