Matip ruled out of Sevilla clash
Liverpool defender Joel Matip has been ruled out of the club’s Champions League clash with Sevilla this week.
Matip has stayed in Liverpool as the rest of the squad travelled down to Spain on Monday, reports the Liverpool Echo.
The central defender was also sidelined on Saturday for Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Southampton at Anfield.
He is currently struggling with a thigh injury and is rehabilitating at present time, making him unavailable this week.
However, there is some good news for Liverpool fans as Adam Lallana has been named in the 23-man squad for Liverpool.
Lallana is yet to make an appearance this season after picking up an injury in pre-season but now looks set to return against Sevilla.
A win for Liverpool against Sevilla will secure their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League this season.
They will have to contend without their main central defender, though, with Matip out.
