Four Liverpool stars to miss Napoli trip
Jurgen Klopp's side will take the trip to Italy without the services of four key players, including Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
According to The Mirror, Fabio Carvalho is also doubtful after suffering a dead leg in Saturday's Premier League draw with Everton.
On his part, Thiago Alcantara is unlikely to be risked so soon despite returning to training on Tuesday after a battle with a hamstring injury.
The development will likely force Klopp to name a makeshift team to take on Napoli in the Group A cracker.
