Liverpool could book their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League when they welcome Atalanta BC to Anfield on Wednesday evening.
The Reds sit five points clear at the top of Group D after only three games courtesy of a 100% record so far, most recently hammering Atalanta 5-0 in Bergamo.
Jurgen Klopp's side were also comfortable winners against Leicester City at the weekend, but are contending with an injury crisis which saw them missing 10 first-team players for that match.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Atalanta's visit.

Liverpool's injury woes were not only confined to senior international football, with Rhys Williams picking up a hip injury while away with England Under-21s. The centre-back should be available for this match, but did not feature in the squad against Leicester.

Klopp revealed that a scan uncovered an injury which Xherdan Shaqiri did not even know he had picked up during the international break. The fact that it was clearly not an issue for Shaqiri suggests that it is nothing serious, but he remains a doubt for this match.
