Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet stated that the absence of Emre Can and Martin Skrtel will not affect the team.
Mignolet underlined that it will be an opportunity for other players to prove themselves.
“I’ve always said everybody is ready when the gaffer asks them to do a job,” Mignolet told the official Liverpool website.
“Everybody works hard in training to make sure when they’re called upon they are there to put in a performance.
“If you’re a professional football player, you always have to be ready for when your chance comes about – and I’m sure everybody will be for Wednesday.”
