Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Toulouse

Liverpool have the chance to guarantee a top-two finish in Europa League Group E when they reconvene with Ligue 1 side Toulouse at Stadium Municipal on Thursday night.

The Reds demolished their upcoming foes 5-1 at Anfield last month to remain perfect in the second tier of continental football, having also seen off Union SG and LASK Linz so far.

However, Jurgen Klopp's side lost their four-game winning streak on Sunday afternoon, where they were forced to come from behind to snatch a 1-1 Premier League draw at newly-promoted Luton Town.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Toulouse, who are third in the group with four points to their name.
