Why Divock Origi is missing for Liverpool vs Wolves

An explanation for Divock Origi missing out for Liverpool vs Wolves has been provided.

The Reds are set to face off with Wolves on Sunday afternoon, kicking off at 4 pm UK time with the remaining 18 clubs.

Liverpool must win the game to stand any chance of pipping Manchester City to the Premier League title.

The Sky Blues are one point ahead of Liverpool on the final day, meaning a win over Aston Villa would hand Pep Guardiola a 4^th English title.

Ahead of the game, Liverpool released their starting line-up an hour before kick-off.

The eleven was fairly strong but did see Jurgen Klopp opt to start both Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk on the bench, presumably because of the Champions League final next weekend.

Elsewhere, Divock Origi, who is due to leave Liverpool for free this summer, missed out altogether.

Liverpool have since explained why the Belgian has been forced to miss what would have been his last appearance at Anfield, stating the striker has a minor muscle issue:

This is how we line up for the final day of the @premierleague season 👊🔴
