NINJA SQUAD: Liverpool stars bundled up while training in the cold evening without FIVE pillars

Liverpool have been put through their paces at the AXA Training Centre ahead of tomorrow’s Europa League clash against LASK.

The Reds will advance to the competition’s knockout stage with a victory or a draw. But a win will guarantee Jurgen Klopp’s team the top spot in Group E, along with Toulouse dropping points against Union SG.

The Liverpool manager ran the rule over his troops at their chilly Kirkby base this evening. And the injury situation is indeed looking difficult for the Reds following blows to Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota in last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Manchester City. Klopp confirmed at his press conference Alisson is set to be out for at least two weeks and Jota longer. Both have muscle issues.

Meanwhile, Stefan Bajcetic (calf) is still not back in training along with long-term absentees Thiago Alcantara (hip) and Andy Robertson (shoulder).

The ice-cold conditions meant that the Liverpool squad were donning the winter gear at the AXA. It was difficult to spot some players – especially Darwin Nunez. The striker had a snood pulled over his nose and wore a hat and could only be picked out because of the No.9 on his clothing.
