  • Liverpool are again without Philippe Coutinho for Arsenal’s visit to Anfield on Sunday.

    Reds boss Jurgen Klopp confirmed the Barcelona target is still “on our injury list” with a back problem, even though he looks set to join up with Brazil next week.

    “He’s on our injury list, that hasn’t changed,” Klopp added.

    “I was not in contact so far with the Brazilian FA but the rules are if they want to see him and check him then he has to go there. I don’t know but I think that will happen. It’s no problem.”

    Klopp is hopeful that both Emre Can and Trent Alexander-Arnold can overcome minor issues they sustained in midweek against Hoffenheim, while Georginio Wijnaldum is set to return to England after attending the birth of his child in Holland, but Nathaniel Clyne (hamstring) and Adam Lallana (thigh) remain absent.

    Provisional squad: Mignolet, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Lovren, Moreno, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Can, Mane, Firmino, Salah, Karius, Gomez, Klavan, Robertson, Milner, Grujic, Origi, Solanke, Sturridge.
