Jurgen Klopp has an almost first-choice starting XI to pick from for Liverpool's Champions League first leg semi-final against Roma.
Adam Lallana, Joel Matip and Emre Can are all absent for the clash against the Serie A side, while Nathaniel Clyne is a doubt.
But Jordan Henderson returns after he was banned for the quarter-final victory against Manchester City and is likely to partner Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in midfield.
Boss Klopp rested a number of his stars against West Brom at the weekend - with Dejan Lovren, Alexander-Arnold, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Roberto Firmino.

Mo Salah will face former club Roma, and Klopp has warned his Egyptian he could be in for a kicking.
“I am pretty sure Italian defenders are famous for not having friendly games so I think Mo will feel pretty early in the game they are not his team-mates any more," the German said.

“But he can strike back in a football way. He knows that. I don’t need to tell him. I didn’t speak to him after his PFA award but I’ll tell him what I want to tell him face to face.
“It’s great: but the season is not finished and there are a lot of things to come.”
Liverpool's probable XI
Karius, Alexander-Arnold, van Dijk, Lovren, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Salah, Firmino, Mane
