Thiago - Could be out until next break Thiago (calf) will not return to training this week and manager Jurgen Klopp suggested the midfielder could be out until the next international break.

Impact It's a tough update for Thiago, who seems all but guaranteed to miss the next two league matches, if not three. He's been out since Sept. 18 and it looks like he won't be back until November.

Joel Matip - Continues in starting XI Matip made one interception, one clearance and kept a clean sheet during Saturday's 5-0 win over Watford.

Impact Matip has started seven of Liverpool's eight Premier League matches at center-back and is the preferred central option alongside Virgil van Dijk. There's always going to be squad rotation due to the volume of matches, though with Liverpool playing so well, it's likely Matip stays in the starting XI as long as he's fit. His next chance to start will come Tuesday away to Atletico Madrid.
