Philippe Coutinho, Jordan Henderson left out of Liverpool's trip to Besiktas

Liverpool duo Philippe Coutinho and Jordan Henderson have reportedly been left out of the travelling squad for Thursday's clash against Besiktas in the second leg of their last-32 Europa League tie.

The Merseyside outfit hold a one-goal lead from the first leg, and manager Brendan Rodgers has opted to ring some changes in his team.

According to the Liverpool Echo, Henderson did not travel to Turkey due to a minor ankle problem, while Glen Johnson and Mamadou Sakho were also left behind, and Coutinho has been rested following 19 consecutive starts.

A number of academy youngsters, including Jordan Lussey and Connor Randall, have been included in the squad.
