Liverpool will be desperate to return to winning ways when they take on Rangers in Group A of the Champions League on Tuesday.
The Reds were held to a 3-3 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield on Saturday, leaving them with only two wins from seven league matches, but they did at least secure a 2-1 win against Ajax in their last match in Europe.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Rangers, who are without a point in the competition heading into the clash on Tuesday.

Possible return date: October 9 (vs. Arsenal)
Andrew Robertson suffered a knee injury during the 4-1 defeat to Napoli in the Champions League, with the Scotland left-back pictured wearing a brace upon his return.
Klopp revealed that Robertson will be back "after the international break," but he is unlikely to be rushed back into things, especially with Kostas Tsimikas proving to be an able deputy in the meantime.

Possible return date: October 4 (vs. Rangers)
Ibrahima Konate has not featured in a competitive match for Liverpool this season after injuring his knee in the club's final pre-season friendly, but the central defender could return to the matchday squad on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old has returned to training, but he may be eased into action, with Klopp likely hoping to have a significant lead secured in the second half in order to provide Konate with some less intense minutes.

Naby Keita was left out of Liverpool's Champions League squad after injuring his thigh days before the end of the summer transfer window, leading to them signing Arthur on loan from Juventus.
The Guinea midfielder is therefore unlikely to return long before the World Cup begins in mid-November.
