Dominic Solanke, Robert Firmino, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum were in the video - they all featured in Liverpool’s 3-3 draw with Watford on Saturday although Solanke didn’t get off the bench.
Coutinho has handed in a transfer request at Anfield but Jurgen Klopp is adamant that hasn’t changed the situation with the club’s owners Fenway Sports Group refusing to sell.

In a statement on Friday, FSG said its "definitive stance" was that "no offers will be considered".
Asked after Saturday's match if the transfer request changed anything, Klopp said: "You have to ask the club, but I don't think so because I think it was pretty clear what FSG said about it."
He then told Sky Sports: "I am responsible for the whole team, all the players, so I need to be focused on the players who are available. The players who are not available, I have no influence over it.
"I have to accept decisions from the owners, that's how it is, and sometimes from the players. At this moment I am just concentrating on my team."
Brazil international Philippe Coutinho emailed a transfer request to Liverpool’s sporting director Michael Edwards on Friday, in direct response to the club’s statement.
