Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits they face FA Cup opponents Nottingham Forest undermanned.
Klopp confirmed both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah will miss out through injury.
He said, “Trent is out with a hamstring, so will be out for England too. Not good news, we will see how long it takes. Mo felt his foot a little bit after the game too.
“I want a team in Nottingham who are mentally and physically ready. We will be Premier League team number four they’ve faced so they have not had it easy so far. Our former coach [Steve Cooper] is doing a proper job there. If we rotate, it’s just to have the best team possible.
“We need some luck [with injuries]. We rest here and rotate there and we can make it more likely players can come back easier. Five subs is essential.”
On replacing Alexander-Arnold, he added”: “We will see how it will take. To replace him is difficult but possible. We have [James] Milner, [Joe] Gomez, these kind of things. Trent is so influential but Milner has done incredibly well in the past. We’ll see how Milly is for Sunday. Maybe a young solution?”
Klopp also confirms Alisson will play in goal at the City Ground.
