Liverpool forward Sadio Mane could be a surprise absentee for the Champions League showdown with Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night, after reportedly coming down with an illness.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp will oversee the final training session at Melwood on Tuesday before the squad travel to Paris for the blockbuster clash.
The Standard reports that the Senegal international has been 'struck down by illness'. However the report does not elaborate on the exact nature or severity of the issue.
PSG have their own fitness concerns ahead of the clash, which could decide Group C, with both Neymar and Kylian Mbappe doubts after picking up knocks during the international break. Both stars trained on Monday, with manager Thomas Tuchel likely to risk the duo for the game if possible.
Neymar & Kylian Mbappé trained as normal with PSG today, according to Le Parisien.
