Naby Keita, Liverpool Guinean midfielder will not feature for the Reds in the second leg of the Champions League tie against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday due to a minor injury.


Defender Trent Alexander-Arnold could feature after being substituted in Sunday's 4-2 Premier League win over Burnley as a precaution.

James Milner could also recover from a muscle problem to play in midfield.

Long-term absentee Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain missed training despite featuring for the reserves on Friday.

The midfielder has been sidelined by a knee injury since last April and came off just before half-time with a minor hamstring issue, which manager Jurgen Klopp later said was nothing to be concerned about.

Meanwhile, hosts Bayern Munich will be without suspended pair Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Muller, but James Rodriguez is expected to come into an attacking midfield role.

Defender David Alaba and winger Kingsley Coman have been ruled fit after overcoming injuries.
