Roberto Firmino is only fit enough for a place on the bench as Liverpool face Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie this evening.
The Brazilian forward missed Friday night's 5-0 Premier League demolition of relegated Huddersfield Town with a muscle tear, but returned to training on Tuesday and did travel to Catalonia with his team-mates.
Jurgen Klopp said he would wait until Wednesday to decide whether or not Firmino is ready to return to the starting XI for such an important match, and has opted not to risk the forward.
Mohamed Salah starts for the Reds after worried social media rumours regarding a potential thigh injury proved unfounded, while Fabinho comes into midfield in place of Joran Henderson.
One surprise omission is Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back, though Klopp may be opting for a more cautious approach with Joe Gomez starting in order to counter the devastating partnership of Jordi Alba and Lionel Messi on the left.
The hosts have a near clean bill of health, with only Rafinha missing after undergoing knee ligament surgery in December.
Philippe Coutinho - whose form has been inconsistent since joining Barcelona for a club-record fee last January - gets the nod against his former club, with Ousmane Dembele still working his way back to full fitness.
