The midfielder has been struggling with a groin injury in recent weeks, but the reason for his absence was not mentioned by the club’s official website.

Record signing Andy Carroll is poised to make his second appearance for the Reds having made his debut as a substitute during the weekend win over Manchester United, but fellow forward Luis Suarez is ineligible.
