Liverpool ace Philippe Coutinho struggling to make Hoffenheim clash

Liverpool ace Philippe Coutinho is struggling to make their Champions League qualifier with Hoffenheim.

FSG, the club's owners, announced today that Coutinho would not be sold to Barcelona this month.

“I can't keep players happy, if you are not happy you won't be if I say be happy. It's not about this at the moment. For me the bigger issue is that he is unable to play," Reds boss Jurgen Klopp explained.

"He's not available (for Watford). He has a back problem and he's not been in training since last Friday.

"And because he hasn't trained, he's a doubt for Tuesday unfortunately. That is my concern at the moment."
