Liverpool will be without midfielder Naby Keita for Sunday afternoon's huge Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur.

The Guinea international has been struggling with an ankle problem and is not part of the Reds' squad for the match at Anfield.

Keita sat out Liverpool's wins over Bayern Munich and Fulham before the international break, but he returned to training on Friday and was expected to be involved in some capacity against Spurs this weekend.

Jurgen Klopp has not included the 24-year-old in his squad, however, seemingly because he does not want to take any risks ahead of a gruelling end of season run-in.

Xherdan Shaqiri and Trent Alexander-Arnold are both included, though, having recovered from knocks that forced them out of international duty with Switzerland and England respectively.
