Liverpool are sweating on the fitness of Alberto Moreno ahead of tonight’s Europa League showdown with Manchester United.
Moreno is a doubt for the Reds after he picked up a hamstring problem during their preparations for the last 16 tie with Louis van Gaal’s side last night.
The Spain international was withdrawn from the Old Trafford training session and will be assessed by Liverpool’s medical team this morning.
A former Europa League winner with Sevilla, Moreno could be replaced by young left-back by Brad Smith as Jurgen Klopp looks to safeguarded his side’s current two-goal advantage into the return leg.
Jon Flanagan, himself returning from a long-term injury, is ineligible for the Europa League after he was omitted from the club’s squad for the competition’s knock-out stages.
