Liverpool manager, Juergen Klopp, will go into Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg tie against AS Roma without his long-term assistant, Zeljko Buvac.
The Bosnian will be absent from his role until the end of the season.
The English Premier League club said Buvac remained a Liverpool employee but is spending time away from the first team for personal reasons.
Buvac played with Klopp at Germany’s Mainz in the 1990s and was his assistant manager at the club before moving with him to Borussia Dortmund and on to Liverpool in 2015.
Liverpool’s position is that the club considers the matter to be private and they will not be making any further comment.
The former European champions lead Roma 5-2 from the first leg game at Anfield.
If they succeed in defending that advantage at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, they will face either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the final in Kiev on May 26.
