Bayern Munich reject Xherdan Shaqiri looks set to snub Liverpool when he leaves the German giants next year.
The Switzerland midfielder has made only three league starts for Bayern this season, and has long been angling for a move away from the club.
Liverpool have led the race to sign Shaqiri for over a year - and the player looked set for a move to Anfield in the summer before the Bundesliga champions blocked the move - but new reports suggest that the player is set to join Wolfsburg.
Defender Glen Johnson is likely to be out for about a month after picking up a groin injury against Manchester United on Sunday.
Javier Manquillo could be set for an extended run if manager Brendan Rodgers reverts to a flat back four having experimented with three centre-backs against United.
Johnson will now miss the Capital One Cup quarter-final against Bournemouth, along with Mario Balotelli.
The Italy international was a second-half substitute in the defeat at Old Trafford, where he made his comeback after more than a month on the sidelines with a groin problem.
But he has stayed behind to receive further treatment on the injury at the club's Melwood training ground with a view to him being fit for Sunday's visit of Arsenal.
Johnson and Balotelli join the likes of Daniel Sturridge on the injury list.
