Sky Sports understands Raheem Sterling has again missed training after reporting sick for a second day.
Sky Sports News HQ has been told the 20-year-old wants to leave Liverpool because of issues with manager Brendan Rodgers - although a source at the club has strongly denied that claim.
Sterling has asked to be left out of the squad for Liverpool's pre-season tour which departs to the Far East and Australia on Sunday.
Liverpool have already rejected two bids - of up to £40m - from Manchester City for Sterling and Rodgers remains keen to keep the player.
Sterling is under contract with the Reds until 2017 but his relationship with the club has deteriorated since he turned down the opportunity to sign an improved deal in January.
Since then he has given an interview, unsanctioned by the club, in which he stressed he was not "a money-grabbing 20-year-old".
His agent Aidy Ward subsequently added fuel to the fire by insisting Sterling would not sign a new contract "for £900,000-a-week".
