• Brazilian midfielder has minor abductor injury • Sadio Mané remains out of action for several weeksPhilippe Coutinho could miss Liverpool’s Premier League game at home to Huddersfield Town on Saturday through injury. The Brazil international is believed to have suffered a slight abductor problem that is likely to keep him out of the Anfield meeting with David Wagner’s side. While not a long-term issue, Coutinho may also be a doubt for next week’s Champions League tie against Maribor plus the league trip to West Ham United next weekend. Coutinho’s absence would be a setback to manager Jürgen Klopp who is seeking a response to last weekend’s miserable 4-1 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur. The Liverpool manager is also without Sadio Mané for several weeks due to a hamstring injury.
