Divock Origi has been left out of Liverpool's clash with Roma in St Louis due to a tight groin.

The Reds are confident it's only a minor problem but are taking no chances with the Belgium international striker, who lit up Saturday night's 2-0 win over AC Milan in Santa Clara.

Marko Grujic is another absentee as the Serbian midfielder continues to recover from the concussion he suffered against Chelsea.

There is also no comeback for centre-back Joel Matip, who has missed all the tour matches due to pain in his foot.

Alex Manninger makes his Liverpool debut in goal with James Milner given another outing at left-back. Dejan Lovren, Ragnar Klavan and Nathaniel Clyne are also in the back four.

There's a first outing of pre-season for Emre Can in midfield and he will have Gini Wijnaldum for company.

Sheyi Ojo, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino form an attacking trio operating just behind Daniel Sturridge.

Liverpool: Manninger, Clyne, Lovren, Klavan, Milner, Can, Wijnaldum, Ojo, Mane, Firmino, Sturridge

Subs: Mignolet, Benteke, Coutinho, Henderson, Moreno, Lallana, Brannagan, Ings, Stewart, Wisdom, Markovic, Randall, Alexander-Arnold, George
