Arriving in Porto, the Liverpool players and staff have been pictured getting off the team bus as they enter their hotel.

Naby Keita, who has missed the past two matches with a slight foot injury, was with the travelling party in Portugal.

Keita took part in team training on Monday morning, and Klopp confirmed in his press conference that the Guinea international would be part of the travelling squad.

Also part of the group was Roberto Firmino, who made his return from injury with a cameo appearance in the draw with Brentford on Saturday.

Neco Williams, who has been out all season with an injury, has also been pictured arriving at the team hotel.

However, Trent Alexander-Arnold was nowhere to be seen, creating doubts that the right-back may be unavailable to face Porto.

Alexander-Arnold only returned to the team on Saturday after missing the previous two games through illness.

Liverpool squad: Alisson, Adrian, Kelleher; Williams, Gomez, Van Dijk, Konate, Matip, Tsimikas, Robertson, Phillips; Keita, Milner, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Fabinho; Jota, Origi, Firmino, Mane, Salah, Minamino
