This weekend’s Premier League away game against Brighton will be difficult for Liverpool, who will also be without a number of important players. The Reds defeated Union SG 2-0 in the Europa League on Thursday, but they will need to step up their game if they want to win three points on Sunday.
The team led by Jurgen Klopp is committed to putting the disappointment of their last-second loss to Tottenham behind them and getting back to winning in the league. However, they are battling fears about both immediate and long-term harm. Prior to the match at the Amex Stadium, Klopp gave an update on the team’s condition.
The following players are expected to miss the upcoming game:
- (Knee) Cody Gakpo is not available.
- Abductor Stefan Bajcetic is not accessible.
- Knee injury: Caoimhin Kelleher is not available.
- Curtis Jones is unavailable due to a suspension.
- Thiago (hip) is not accessible.
- Conor Bradley (rear) is not accessible.
Cody Gakpo will continue to sit out games while he recovers from a knee injury. Klopp is hopeful that the striker will return following the break for international play.
Stefan Bajcetic, who experienced a setback in his abductor injury recovery, is anticipated to be available when play picks back up later this month.
Caoimhin Kelleher is also unable to play in this match after missing the match against Union SG owing to a knee injury.
Due to a ban stemming from the red card he received against Tottenham, Curtis Jones is expected to miss the next three games. Liverpool’s attempt to have the ruling reversed was unsuccessful.
Because of a hip ailment that has kept him out of play since April, Thiago is still on the sidelines.
Conor Bradley is recovering from a back ailment and is getting closer to being fully healthy, but he won’t be able to play in the upcoming game.
The following players are part of the Liverpool team for this game:
Alisson, Adrian, Pitaluga, and Jaros are the goalies.
Defenders: Quansah, Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Tsimikas, Chambers, Konate, Matip, and Gomez
Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Elliott, Endo, and Clark are all midfielders.
Salah, Diaz, Nunez, Jota, Doak are the forwards.
