Martin Terrier missed Bayer Leverkusen's 0-0 draw with VfB Stuttgart on Friday after picking up a knock.

He has since returned to training and took part in Leverkusen's final session on Monday ahead of Tuesday night's Champions League clash with Liverpool.

 

However, the Frenchman hasn't travelled to England, as Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso revealed at his pre-match press conference on Monday.

"He trained today (Monday) and didn't feel perfect, so we didn't want to take any risks," said Xabi Alonso.

Jonas Hofmann is expected to start in Terrier's place.

In addition to Terrier, Leverkusen will be without Adli (fibula), Belocian (ankle) and Mukiele (thigh).
