Dejan Lovren also missed training and will have a last-minute fitness test on a hamstring injury.

Klopp gave an injury update on Monday, saying: "I don't know 100 per cent. It's Monday and we play on Tuesday so most of that should be clear.

"Gini [Wijnaldum] trained and looked really well. [Xherdan] Shaqiri did a lot, so it will be close, we have to see.

"Dejan [Lovren], I actually have to wait minute by minute if there is a chance or not. But that's pretty much all, I would say."

Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool won't have a chance against Bayern Munich if they start thinking about their fixture list, starting with Manchester United on Super Sunday.

If Lovren does not make it, then Fabinho is likely to partner Joel Matip in central defence with Virgil van Dijk suspended.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain took part in some of the session as he continues his rehabilitation from a serious knee injury.
