Toulouse v Liverpool LIVE: Europa League result and final score as VAR rules out late Jarell Quansah equaliser

Ben Doak gets his third Liverpool start before his 18th birthday, and Joe Gomez is captain. The match is almost underway.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said the club was celebrating the “very, very good news” of Luis Diaz’s father’s release in Colombia and said the winger was “happy” to start the Europa League fixture against Toulouse on Thursday.

The Liverpool winger’s father Luis Manuel Diaz has been freed by Colombia’s National Liberation Army (ELN), 13 days after was seized by gunmen along with Diaz’s mother, Cilenis Marulanda, who was freed by police within hours.

We’re less than 5 minutes away from the early Europa League kick off in Toulouse and here are some shots of the players warming up:

Kelleher on Diaz: “That’s our teammate, that’s our brother, it’s hard with the situation that he’s in, but all we can do and we’ve tried to do is just be there for him and be around him and help him and support him however we can.

“To be coming in every day with the situation that’s going on I have so much respect for him and I think it was a nice moment for him to get that goal at the weekend.

“I think it (football) is just a distraction for him at the moment to be able to come in for a few hours every day with the lads.

“I think the whole team was delighted when he got that call.”

Caoimhin Kelleher told TNT Sports: “I think last season I didn’t have too many games so it was hard to keep up that match sharpness but this season I’ve had a few games already so that sharpness is already there.

“Obviously just trying to train as hard as I can every day as well and that prepares me.”

On being Alisson’s number two: “I’ve worked with him a good few years now so I feel like I’ve learned a lot from him.

“He’s the perfect person to train with every day because he’s the best in my opinion so obviously just watching him and trying to learn from him week in and week out is good for my development.”

Klopp on his team selection aside from Diaz: “We wasted energy in that energy.

“I want to see an improvement that’s clear. Beside that you can see that Toulouse chose the same team that played us there (Anfield) - it’s probably their best side so we can seize the chance and make a big stand but we have to be ready for that.

“Anything can happen, they can go for us, high press, all these kind of things, they can try absolutely everything, all they can to get a result somehow.

“But we have to concentrate on our own performance and that means that we have to make sure that we play a really good football game.

“First and foremost (we have to have) a real compactness, a real discipline and from there we go.”

Onto the match itself and here’s how to watch it on TV:

Liverpool can wrap up progress to the Europa League knock-out stages if they pick up a fourth straight win in Group E on Thursday evening.

The Reds have beaten each of LASK, Union St. Gilloise and Toulouse and now play the return fixture against the latter, with the French club second in the group on four points and stuttering domestically, sat 14th in Ligue 1 after just two wins in 11 this term.

Jurgen Klopp to TNT Sports on Diaz: “He is happy, and thumbs up all the time. It looks good, very very good, but I am not the one to release anything.

“So obviously timing-wise it could not have been better, if it’s today - great but let’s go in this game.”

On Diaz starting: “We asked him, he wants to and he will.”

Another thing marred Liverpool’s draw at Luton, some of the actions of the home supporters:

Luton have threatened to ban any supporters who are found to have taken part in ‘tragedy chanting’ during Sunday’s home match against Liverpool.

The Football Association has asked the club – and police – for their observations after taunts indirectly referencing the Hillsborough disaster were heard during the 1-1 draw, while the PA news agency understands Liverpool have also written asking what measures are to be taken.

Luton issued a statement saying they were “saddened” and “extremely disappointed that a small number of supporters soured the occasion with chants that may be interpreted as being in relation to tragedies that have affected Liverpool FC in the past”.

Luis Diaz will start for Liverpool following the news that his father was freed by his kidnappers.

Alexis Mac Allister, who is suspended for the upcoming Premier League match is also in the starting XI.

Virgil Van Dijk misses out through illness, with both Ryan Gravenberch and Curtis Jones injured.

Liverpool XI: Kelleher; Gomez, Matip, Quansah, Tsimikas; Endo, Mac Allister, Elliott; Doak, Diaz, Gakpo

Subs: Alisson, Mrozek, Konate, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Salah, Jota, Chambers, Scanlon, Gordon, McConnell, Alexander-Arnold
