(Reuters) - Liverpool have withdrawn Joel Matip from their squad for Sunday's Premier League trip to Manchester United because FIFA have not confirmed he is eligible to play club football while the African Nations Cup is taking place.
The Cameroon centre back was one of seven players who opted not to play for his country at the tournament in Gabon.
