Brendan Rodgers goes into tonight's Capital One Cup clash against Bournemouth (7:45pm) without one of his most experienced defenders, who has played on both flanks this season.
Johnson, who is a free agent as of next summer, has only recently returned to action after a six-week lay-off with a thigh injury.

However, Rodgers has options available with Javi Manquillo and Alberto Moreno and Jose Enrique have both played at left-back this term.
Meanwhile, Mario Balotelli has also been ruled out of the cup game with a groin injury.
Liverpool will be desperate to end the rot which has seen them win just two of their past 10 games in all competitions.
