Liverpool were missing five senior players at training on Thursday.

The Reds meet Chelsea this weekend in a big six pointer.

The Liverpool Echo says Thiago Alcantara was missing due to a muscular injury. Brazilian pair Alisson Becker and Roberto Firmino were also not seen at Liverpool training yesterday.

Others missing were Takumi Minamino, who missed the defeat at Leicester, who was not shown in training having also suffered from a knock.

Divock Origi has been out for the last four matches, and was also not present.
