Xherdan Shaqiri will play no part in Liverpool’s Carabao Cup clash with MK Dons on Wednesday night.
The club have confirmed that the 27-year-old has picked up a knock in training, ruling him out of the third round tie.
It is a setback for Shaqiri, who seemed almost certain to feature for the Reds at Stadium MK.
These Liverpool fans have been reacting to the news on Twitter, voicing their frustration.
What's up with Shaq nowadays??🤔
He wants playing time and when a great chance comes along he crocked again??

Shaqiri made such a promising start to life at Liverpool last season, proving to be a such a key figure before Christmas.
It feels a long time ago now that the Swiss was scoring twice against Manchester United, though, having featured so sporadically since.
There is growing frustration at Shaqiri’s injury record, and as he approaches his 28th birthday, his Reds future could be up in the air next summer.
The hope is that the forward’s injury is only a short-term issue, but it is still a setback, nonetheless.
