“It will not be a big thing but we did not want to have him on the plane, if some others have it as well.

“I have it a little bit but for me it is not a problem, that’s why we left him at home. He should be absolutely all right for the weekend.”

Liverpool are looking to secure a place in the knockout phase and they will do so with a win in France. So far their campaign in the Europa League has gone smoothly with 3 win in the first 3 games.
