Coutinho and Sturridge not included in Liverpool squad to face Hoffenheim

Coutinho's future remains the subject of considerable speculation.

Liverpool will be without Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho for Tuesday's Champions League play-off first leg at Hoffenheim.

Striker Sturridge missed Saturday's Premier League opener at Watford after suffering a thigh injury in pre-season but there was hope he could feature against the German side.
