Phil back in firing line
JURGEN KLOPP is set to plunge Philippe Coutinho into Saturday’s battle against Manchester City after winning the fight to keep him. Despite bids of £72million, £90.4m and £114.2m from Barcelona, punctuated by a transfer request from Coutinho, Liverpool refused to sell. Although Coutinho has missed the first five games of Liverpool’s season, he was back in scoring action for Brazil last week against Ecuador. Coutinho will jet back to England with Roberto Firmino, Manchester City‘s Gabriel Jesus, and Chelsea‘s Willian after tomorrow’s game against Colombia.
