Dejan Lovren has visited a specialist in efforts to make Liverpool’s Champions League clash with Bayern Munich.
Lovren last featured for the Reds in their FA Cup exit to Wolves on January 7 and faces a race against time to feature in Tuesday’s last 16 first leg tie at Anfield.
The Croatia international was a notable absentee from Jurgen Klopp’s side as they took part in a warm weather training camp in Marbella earlier this week.
Instead, Lovren has sought advice from a muscle-strengthening coach in his homeland in efforts to shake off the ongoing hamstring injury.
“He is not here because he can’t be part of training,” said Klopp.
“We are back on Friday. From Saturday on, Dejan is back at Melwood and we will see. But, of course, we have to prepare it differently.
“If Dejan gives a sign on Monday and says, ‘I feel brilliant’, then we’d have to think anew. I don’t want to rule it out but I cannot really plan with it.
“In the moment, we prepare the game and in this preparation Dejan is not involved. We have to find other solutions.”
Klopp is already heading into the game against the Bundesliga champions without a suspended Virgil van Dijk while Joe Gomez remains sidelined through injury.
