Liverpool's Champions League mission impossible in Madrid has been made even harder by the sudden absences of two of their central midfielders.
The Reds will be without captain Jordan Henderson for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Real Madrid due to illness, with the 2019 Champions League winning skipper failing to board the flight to Spain with his team-mates on Tuesday.
Henderson had been left out of the starting XI for the weekend defeat at Bournemouth through illness, but he did play for the final 25 minutes.
