Liverpool boss Arne Slot has suffered an injury scare ahead of the team's crucial Champions League clash at Paris Saint-Germain this week after Cody Gakpo was absent from training.
The Reds have a tough task ahead of them in the last 16 after being paired with the dangerous Ligue 1 champions managed by Luis Enrique, despite winning the league phase standings.
Slot was already set to be without four players for the huge game with Joe Gomez, Conor Bradley and Tyler Morton all sitting out for the knockout tie at the Parc des Princes.
But now the Dutchman has another worry to contend with after Gakpo was missing from 20 outfield players who featured in open training at the club's complex on Tuesday.
Slot's players have been given an extended period of rest for this game having not been involved in the FA Cup this weekend, following their exit against Championship side Plymouth in the last round.
The former Feyenoord boss does not have any other concerns going into the game as things stand, though youngster Amara Nallo is unavailable through suspension after his sending off against PSV in the final match of the group stage.
The Reds are also facing a potential disciplinary issue, with Ibrahima Konate, Andy Robertson and Harvey Elliott all one yellow card away from picking up a one-game suspension.
Meanwhile, Alexis Mac Allister has already served a one-match ban for the same infringement, but is now in danger of picking up another after earning four bookings.
There are still potentially four games before these yellow cards expire, as they are still in play until the end of the quarter-finals. This issue could also affect Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch, Luis Diaz, Kostas Tsimikas and Darwin Nunez, who are all two cards away from a ban.
Liverpool will be focused on the task at hand against a talented side featuring stars like Ousmane Dembele, who has six goals in the Champions League this season and three goals in as many games. However, Slot has insisted his team do not fear PSG, or any other top team in Europe.
"Do we fear PSG? We don’t fear anybody," he said. "But I am impressed by their quality, they are on an upwards curve a bit similar to ours at the moment. I don’t think the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, Real Madrid, these kind of clubs don’t fear opponents. But we definitely respect them and there’s a reason for that."
