Brazilian playmaker Philippe Coutinho will not be travelling to Hoffenheim for Liverpool's Champions League tie as he has been omitted from the squad.
Liverpool play a Champions League playoff tie against Hoffenheim on Tuesday. According to the club's Twitter handle, the player's name is not there in the squad list.
Coutinho had previously handed in a transfer request. The 25-year-old is a target of FC Barcelona and also missed Saturday's English Premier League opener against Watford due to a back injury.
