The Reds playmaker has handed in a transfer request as Barcelona look to replace Neymar - who they sold to Paris St-Germain for a fee of £198m.

But Jurgen Klopp is desperate to keep hold of Coutinho and has already rejected two bids from the Catalan giants.

And the Brazil international has been left out of the Liverpool squad to face Hoffenheim in their Champions League qualifier tonight due to an apparent back injury.

The 25-year-old was spotted arriving at Melwood this morning looking miserable.

Daniel Sturridge, who has been struggling with a hamstring injury, was also snapped by photographers making his way in to the club’s training base.
