Liverpool v Athletic Bilbao: Philippe Coutinho absent as squad jet to Dublin
LIVERPOOL have flown out to Dublin ahead of their final pre-season friendly against Athletic Bilbao. But Philippe Coutinho did not travel with the squad.
Coutinho, who's been linked with a move to Barcelona in recent weeks, will miss the match as a precaution.
The Brazil international has a sore back, while Daniel Sturridge is sidelined with a thigh injury and captain Jordan Henderson misses out due to illness.
But Jurgen Klopp looked in high spirits ahead of Liverpool's final warm-up match before their season-opener against Watford next weekend.
Liverpool squad: Mignolet, Karius, Ward, Alexander-Arnold, Flanagan, Gomez, Matip, Lovren, Klavan, Moreno, Milner, Robertson, Can, Grujic, Ejaria, Wijnaldum, Woodburn, Salah, Kent, Firmino, Origi, Solanke, Mane.
