Liverpool faces a challenge with several key players sidelined for their imminent encounter against Manchester United. Despite this setback, there’s a glimmer of hope as their injury situation is currently the healthiest it has been in recent times.
Injury Status
Following their recent 3-1 triumph over Sheffield United, catapulting them back to the summit of the Premier League, Liverpool now focuses on the looming clash with Manchester United. Here’s a breakdown of the available and absent players for the match:
– Available:Wataru Endo (knock)
– Out: Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee), Diogo Jota (knee), Alisson (hamstring), Stefan Bajcetic (calf), Thiago (hamstring), Ben Doak (ACL), Joel Matip (ACL)
Andy Robertson and Curtis Jones are contending for starting roles following impressive showings in recent outings, providing Liverpool with a relatively favorable scenario.
However, the absence of influential figures like Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota, and Stefan Bajcetic remains a significant setback, though there’s hope for their return to training next week.
Joel Matip, Thiago, and Ben Doak are unlikely to feature competitively for the remainder of the season.
Furthermore, several under-21 players who participated in a recent match are also unlikely to be involved in the upcoming fixture.
