Liverpool news: Virgil van Dijk and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain sit out training ahead of Barcelona clash
Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk and midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were absent from training ahead of the Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona.However, it is understood the pair were undergoing specific, tailored sessions in keeping with managing their workloads at this stage of the season.Van Dijk has played 54 times this term for club and country while Oxlade-Chamberlain made his first appearance in over a year late last month after a serious knee injury.2

Also missing, having already been ruled out of the game, were forwards Mohamed Salah (concussion) and Roberto Firmino (muscle tear), with long-term injury victims Adam Lallana (muscle) and Naby Keita (groin) also not present.Liverpool find themselves with a mountain to climb after losing the first leg 3-0 at the Nou Camp last Wednesday and their task has grown with two of their star strikers unavailable.But Jurgen Klopp insists his team still believe they can pull off an Anfield miracle and progress on Tuesday night. Speaking at a press conference ahead of the game, Klopp said:Theres hope and thats football.We are far away from giving up.Two of the worlds best strikers are not available tomorrow it doesnt make life any easier but while we have 11 players on the pitch we will try.If there is an opportunity to go to the next round, we have to try.2

It is a long season and there is at least a little chance to make it even longer. If not, these are the last two home games of an incredible season.I think we should celebrate that with a good performance on the pitch and a very good performance in the stands. That would be really nice.Thats what we want to show, nothing else. We want to celebrate the Champions League campaign, either with a proper finish or another goal.If we can do it, wonderful, and if not then fail in the most beautiful way, if you want, with a close result.
