Joel Matip sustained an injury at Sheffield United last weekend, Jürgen Klopp has confirmed.
The Liverpool defender must therefore be assessed ahead of Wednesday night’s Champions League clash with Salzburg at Anfield.
Xherdan Shaqiri remains sidelined for the Group E tie, while the game also comes too soon for goalkeeper Alisson Becker.
Asked for a fitness update on Tuesday afternoon, Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com: “In a good mood, good spirits, but we have to wait a little bit to give a final answer about fitness.
“Joel Matip obviously got a slight knock at Sheffield, we have to see how exactly it will be.
“Apart from that, everybody should be fine. Of course, we have the players who weren’t available last week – that means Shaq is still out; Alisson is very close but for sure not for tomorrow. I think that’s it pretty much.”

So much for someone’s suggestion Alisson was out for the season.
