Liverpool will be looking to make it three wins from three in Group D of the Champions League when they visit Bergamo to take on Atalanta BC on Tuesday night.
Jurgen Klopp's side have beaten Ajax and FC Midtjylland to take early control of the group, while across all competitions they have won each of their last four outings.
Liverpool's good form has come despite a mounting injury crisis, particularly in defence, and in Atalanta the patched-up backline face one of Europe's most potent attacks.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension list ahead of the contest.

Already drafted in as an emergency centre-back himself, Fabinho's hamstring injury further limits Liverpool's defensive options. His withdrawal from the Brazil squad suggests that he will not be ready to return until after the international break.

Klopp has been coy on the fitness of Thiago Alcantara, who has been unable to feature since the Merseyside derby. The injury is not thought to be serious, but he has now missed the last four games across all competitions and is yet to return to training ahead of this match.
