Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Genk

Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Tuesday night's Champions League group game against Genk at Anfield.

Liverpool could take a major step towards qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League when they welcome Genk to Anfield on Tuesday night.

Should results go their way then victory could leave the holders six points clear of third place with only two games remaining, and Liverpool will be clear favourites to hold up their end of the bargain having won the reverse fixture 4-1 in Belgium last month.

Jurgen Klopp's side also go into the game off the back of a remarkable late turnaround against Aston Villa on Saturday, scoring in the 87th and 94th minutes to win 2-1 and retain a six-point lead at the top of the Premier League table going into next weekend's showdown with Manchester City.

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