Liverpool confirmed that a muscle strain has kept Naby Keita out of their Uefa Super Cup game against Chelsea on Wednesday.
Keita is with the Reds in Istanbul but will not play at Vodafone Park because he picked up the injury during their pre-match training on Tuesday evening.
The 24-year-old has been subsequently replaced in the starting XI that has Egypt's Mohamed Salah, Senegal's Sadio Mane and Cameroon's Joel Matip.

Keita recently returned from the sidelines after his withdrawal from the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations with Guinea due to a recurring groin injury.
