In last weekend's 2-2 draw at Chelsea, Alisson Becker, Roberto Firmino and Joel Matip were all absent after testing positive for Covid.

Matip is back in training, however.

Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Naby Keita have all jetted off to the African Cup of Nations.

Meanwhile, Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi have been on the sidelines, along with Nat Phillips - who is still suffering from a fractured cheekbone.

Thiago Alcantara has also been suffering from a hip problem.

Several under-23s and under-18s are set to be involved.
