Liverpool will be without Roberto Firmino for Thursday's trip to Manchester City after he suffered a calf injury earlier this week.
The Brazil international started both games in Dubai against Lyon and AC Milan and had been scheduled to play a part in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup at the Etihad when Jurgen Klopp's side play their first competitive fixture since November 12.
However an impact injury to his calf, picked up in training, has ruled out Firmino for the game as a precaution. The former Hoffenheim man has since undergone a scan and the damage is not thought to be serious.
