They all react different to different issues and that's what we want to take this time.

Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah

The others, we think we will deal with it day by day with muscle things. For tomorrow, you will see the line-up early enough and see who made it and who didn't make it. That’s it pretty much.

Alisson Becker

Not available are Ali, it's muscle injury, don't know how long it takes, we will see the time.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dominik Szoboszlai

Longer term like Trent and Dom are on the way back but not in team training yet and so that means they are not are available as well.
