Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho will miss tomorrow's showdown with Huddersfield, says Paul Joyce

That's according to respected Merseyside football reporter Paul Joyce, who broke the news on Twitter this lunchtime.

Coutinho has been in fine form ever since putting the disappointment of a failed summer move to Barcelona behind him.

And Jurgen Klopp will have been counting on the playmaker to help Liverpool get back to winning ways when Huddersfield visit Anfield.

Joyce has now revealed that Coutinho is set to miss the showdown with David Wagner’s Terriers though.

He tweeted: "Philippe Coutinho injury blow for Liverpool. Will miss Huddersfield game."
