That was Coutinho’s 1^st match since netting in the 4-2 defeat vs. Arsenal back in February. The Brazilian missed the rest of the past season with an injury, but his team qualified for the European tournaments even without him.

Coutinho is expected to find a new club during the current transfer window. Besiktas from Turkey and Al Ettifaq from Saudi Arabia, where the head coach is Steven Gerrard, have asked about the player.

Qatari teams are also interested in inking Coutinho from the Premier League side in the final days of the transfer window.
