Sidelined: Alisson
The Reds’ first-choice goalkeeper complained of some discomfort following his side’s open training session on Monday.
The Brazilian has not travelled with his team-mates to Istanbul, and second-choice Giorgi Mamardashvili will deputise for the No1.
The issue is believed to be a minor one, although Arne Slot will be sweating over his shot-stopper’s fitness for the visit of Tottenham this weekend.
Alisson has already suffered an injury this term, going off hurt against Gala earlier in the season.
He was sidelined for seven weeks after the 1-0 defeat at RAMS Park.
The Reds are also without Federico Chiesa, who did not train with the squad before their departure for Turkey on Monday afternoon.
Their last 16 second leg against Galatasaray is the following Wednesday before a trip to Brighton and Hove Albion as Slot’s men chase a top-four finish.
Liverpool lost ground in the Champions League chase last week when they fell to a dramatic defeat at bottom club Wolves, but they got their immediate revenge at Molineux just days later in the FA Cup fifth round.
