Liverpool XI vs RB Salzburg: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and latest injuries for Champions League clash

Jurgen Klopp will hope to be able to restore both Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum to his starting XI when Liverpool face RB Salzburg in a crucial Champions League group-stage match on Tuesday evening.

Wijnaldum missed the weekend win over Bournemouth with a thigh problem, while Mane remained on the bench in the south coast as he received a well-earned rest; both should be ready to take on the Austrian champions.

Elsewhere, Joe Gomez could earn a rare start at centre-half after ​Dejan Lovren was forced off at the Vitality Stadium with muscle tightness.

Klopp should otherwise go as close to full strength as possible with his team needing to avoid defeat to clinch a place in the knockout stages.
