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.
