Philippe Coutinho has left Liverpool's Melwood training ground as speculation surrounding his future at the club intensifies.
The Brazilian star is trying to force a move through to Barcelona after the Spanish giants made him one of their prime targets following Neymar's £198million move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Coutinho will be absent from Liverpool's crunch Champions League play-off first leg against Hoffenheim on Tuesday and has not travelled with the squad due to an apparent back injury.
It is the same injury which prevented him from being named in Liverpool's opening day squad at Watford on Saturday.
