Liverpool have been hit with a hammer blow ahead of their trip to face Rangers as Joel Matip and Trent Alexander-Arnold have been ruled out of the Champions League showdown.
The Reds' win over Gers at Anfield last week was a welcome respite from a domestic campaign that has not been kind to Jurgen Klopp and his team. Defeat to Arsenal over the weekend leaves them stranded in tenth with just two wins from their opening eight matches to all but dissolve their title hopes even at this early stage.
They still have designs on winning Group A though at the halfway point. Liverpool currently occupy second behind Napoli, who have a 100 per cent record, and will hope to make some ground on them on Wednesday night when they travel to Ibrox while Ajax go to Naples looking for some revenge.
