Victor Munoz meanwhile has also missed Liverpool’s last two games with a knee issue with the Liverpool boss also hopeful he can be involved. ‘I think they have a chance, but I do not know if they will be involved or not, but we still have two days,’ Iraola said in his Friday’s pre-match press conference. ‘I think they have a chance, yes.’ Liverpool remain without Jeremie Frimpong with Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni and Hugo Ekitike still longer-term absentees.
