Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Red Bull Salzburg

Liverpool welcome Red Bull Salzburg to Anfield on Wednesday night looking to pick up the first win of their latest Champions League defence after losing their opener in Naples.

Two late goals saw Napoli beat Jurgen Klopp's side at the Stadio San Paolo for the second successive season, leaving the Reds playing catch-up in Group E.

Salzburg top the pool following their thumping 6-2 triumph over Genk on matchday one, but Liverpool will be favourites in this match having made a faultless start to their domestic campaign.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for the Merseyside outfit ahead of the match.

Liverpool have no players suspended for this match.
