Liverpool injury, suspension list vs. Real Madrid

Liverpool will have a mountain to climb when they travel to Bernabeu on Wednesday night for the second leg of their last-16 Champions League clash with Real Madrid.

Jurgen Klopp's side suffered a 5-2 loss to Los Blancos in the first leg at Anfield, meaning that they will have to produce a special performance to advance to the final eight.

The Reds will enter the contest off the back of a disappointing 1-0 loss to Bournemouth in the Premier League, with the result a huge setback after the recent 7-0 success over Manchester United.
