Liverpool face Toulouse in the Europa League on Thursday and Jurgen Klopp will be without five players as he bids for back-to-back wins.
Liverpool will look to make it three from three in Europa League Group E when they host French side Toulouse at Anfield on Thursday night. The Reds started their campaign with a 3-1 win away to LASK in September and then beat Union SG 2-0 at home earlier this month.
A win here would give Jürgen Kloppand#039 the chance to seal promotion in his fourth game and is once again a heavy favourite. Toulouse finished 13th in Ligue 1 last season, qualified by winning the French Cup, and are 10th in the current table, most recently drawing 1-1 with Reims. Klopp received some good news in the early stages of the game with the inclusion of Cody Gakpo in the squad. Gakpo has missed the last three games in all competitions after picking up the injury moments before scoring against Tottenham Hotspur, but is now ready to take part, having trained with the squad since Sunday.
In center field, the manager gets Curtis Jones to re-elect. Jones has been suspended for the last two Premier League games due to his red card at Spurs and has another domestic ban, but not for this competition.
Meanwhile, playmaker Caoimhín Kelleher could be brought back in goal after missing the Union SG game through injury. The Irishman started in the opener against LASK and looked set to play every game in the group stage, but Alisson had to come on in the final.
As for Klopp, there are no new absentees coming into the game, but he is still without five players. Andy Robertson underwent successful surgery on his dislocated shoulder on Thursday.
Elsewhere, the Reds boss confirmed in his press conference that Stefan Bajčetić, whose only start in an injury-plagued season came away from LASK, and Thiago, who is still out of office, have not returned to team training. Young right back Conor Bradley is still in rehabilitation. Meanwhile, there is no indication that Ben Doak is fit to play for Scotland Under-21s after struggling on international duty.
