Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has explained why Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson were missing from the Reds' team for their FA Cup meeting with Nottingham Forest.
Both men were involved in Liverpool's last Premier League game. Robertson played the full 90 minutes of the 2-0 victory at Arsenal on Wednesday night, while Salah - who had been an injury doubt before the trip to London - played the final half hour at the Emirates Stadium.
Neither were involved at the City Ground, though, with Klopp explaining illness and injury were to blame. The news follows the announcement that Trent Alexander-Arnold will be out for a number of weeks, and the impending international break has come at a good time for the Reds boss and his squad.
