Joel Matip won't feature against Chelsea as the Liverpool defender continues to have treatment on an ankle problem.

The Cameroon international, who limped off in the friendly win over Wigan , hasn't taken part in a full session so far on the tour of America and was once again absent during training at Stanford University on Monday evening.

Matip will sit out Wednesday night's meeting with Antonio Conte's side in the International Champions Cup at the Pasadena Rose Bowl but the Reds have alleviated fears that he's facing an extended absence.

Liverpool insist they are simply taking no chances with the Cameroon international as they want to ensure he's 100% fit for the start of the Premier League campaign.

In Matip's absence, fellow new signing Ragnar Klavan is set to make his Reds debut against Chelsea.

Daniel Sturridge and Nathaniel Clyne were absent from training at Stanford as they worked in the gym instead. However, Gini Wijnaldum and Christian Benteke did feature after sitting out the previous open session 24 hours earlier.

Young winger Sheyi Ojo worked with the club's fitness staff away from the main group after arriving in California following the end of his international commitments with England Under-19s.
