Philippe Coutinho has travelled with the Liverpool squad for the Premier League clash against Southampton on Saturday.

But there was no sign of Adam Lallana among the Reds party that flew to the South Coast on Friday evening.

Coutinho underwent a precautionary scan at Liverpool's Spire Hospital on Thursday afternoon after complaining of a tight hamstring.

The 24-year-old only arrived back in the UK on Wednesday night having played 170 minutes of football for Brazil in the recent international break, helping them to World Cup qualifying wins over Argentina and Peru.

It's still not certain whether Jurgen Klopp will throw Coutinho in from the start at St Mary's, but the fact the in-form attacker was among those to have flown to Southampton suggests he'll feature on the bench at the very least.

Roberto Firmino, who was also part of the Brazil squad, was also photographed among the Liverpool squad.

However, Lallana was conspicuous by his absence having limped off with a groin problem after only 20 minutes of England's friendly against Spain at Wembley on Tuesday night, having earlier scored his country's opening goal in a 2-2 draw.

Gini Wijnaldum and Daniel Sturridge are both vying for a starting role with Lallana missing.
