Jurgen Klopp has cast doubt on Trent Alexander-Arnold being fit to feature in Liverpool's showdown against Manchester City this weekend.
The England right back didn't travel with the Reds squad for their Champions League clash in Porto on Tuesday evening after suffering a groin injury during training.
Liverpool had initially been hopeful the injury wasn't serious but further tests revealed the player is likely to face a spell on the sidelines.
And Klopp believes there is little chance of Alexander-Arnold being available for Sunday's clash against champions Manchester City at Anfield.
