Jordan Henderson: Still on the sidelines

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson and fellow midfielder Adam Lallana are still not fit to return ahead of Sunday’s trip to West Brom.

Henderson was expected to begin training this week but his foot injury is still giving him problems, while Lallana (thigh) is not expected back with the squad until the week after next.

Brazilians Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho will return to the starting line-up after being rested at Stoke but manager Jurgen Klopp has to decide whether to retain the 3-5-2 formation he introduced last week or revert to his preferred 4-3-3.

Provisional Liverpool squad: Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Matip, Klavan, Milner, Can, Wijnaldum, Coutinho, Firmino, Origi, Karius, Alexander-Arnold, Moreno, Gomez, Lucas, Grujic, Sturridge, Woodburn, Wilson.
