Arne Slot has ruled Alexander Isak out of a start before the upcoming international break - although the Liverpool boss has suggested his striker could still feature against Manchester City on Sunday.
Isak was not involved in training on Monday as the Reds gear up for their latest Champions League encounter against Real Madrid. The Swedish international has been missing since being brought off against Eintracht Frankfurt with a groin problem.
Giving an update on his condition - as well as Jeremie Frimpong and Alisson Becker - Slot confirmed none of the trio will return in tomorrow's game, but there is still some hope Isak could return at the weekend.
"All three are unavailable for tomorrow," Slot said. "Jeremie and Alisson will also not be available for Sunday, and with Alex, we have to wait and see.
"Definitely not starting on Sunday, but maybe he can be involved in the squad, but he's still not training with the team, so we have to wait and see."
While Isak will miss out again tomorrow, Liverpool has been boosted by the return of Curtis Jones to training, with the midfielder potentially in line to make his comeback from injury after missing the Reds' last two games.

Having returned to winning ways against Aston Villa at the weekend, Liverpool will be hoping not to slump back into its recent run of form as it faces two huge games before the November international break.
Following tomorrow's game against Madrid, the Reds head to Manchester City on Sunday, with both sides looking to claw back some points on Arsenal, with Mikel Arteta's side currently sitting six points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Despite having a lot riding on the weekend's trip to the Etihad, Slot insists Sunday's game won't come into his thinking until the final whistle blows against Real.

"No, Sunday's game is not in my thinking when it comes to the lineup for tomorrow," Slot said. "There are, I think, four days in between, where we have had a lot of moments this season where there were only two days in between, like tomorrow.
"But for tomorrow, that is exactly the same for both teams, so the lineup tomorrow will have anything to do with what happens on Sunday.
"The good thing is that we won on Saturday, but it was about time, I would say, for us to start winning a game of football again."
