KLOPP
Liverpool are sweating on Philippe Coutinho’s fitness after
he had a scan at a private hospital on Merseyside on Thursday.
The Brazil forward only returned on
Wednesday night, having been involved in his country’s World Cup qualifier
against Peru in Lima.
Coutinho reported back to Melwood
but did not train with the squad and, instead, he went to Spire Hospital for an
assessment.
It places a huge question over
whether he will be fit to line up for the league leaders at Southampton on
Saturday.
It is the last thing Jurgen Klopp
needs, given he has already lost Adam Lallana.
Lallana damaged his groin in
England’s 2-2 draw with Spain on Tuesday but should be available for the home
game with Sunderland on Saturday week.
Coutinho has been in stunning form in the Premier League
since the start of the season.
He has provided five goals in the
English top flight for Klopp's high-flying Liverpool this campaign.
Coutinho was also in staggering form
for his nation as they won 3-0 against Argentina during the international
break.
