Liverpool’s relentless pursuit across multiple competitions this season has left them grappling with a barrage of injuries. Despite triumphs with academy talents in the Carabao Cup final, their squad has been decimated. The recent string of defeats has only exacerbated their struggles.
Virgil van Dijk, pivotal in defense, faces uncertainty due to a minor knock. Meanwhile, Diogo Jota’s return was short-lived, sidelining him once more. Conor Bradley and Stefan Bajcetic aim for comebacks, while Ben Doak’s season hangs in the balance after a knee injury.
“Diogo is not in team training yet. Conor is,” Klopp told his pre-match press conference.
“Virgil wasn’t the whole week yet, probably part of parts of team training today. So we have to see what we can do there.
“That’s it.”
Thiago Alcantara’s woes persist, with doubts lingering over his return this season. Joel Matip, facing a career crossroads, is making strides in his recovery but may not feature again for the club.
As Liverpool navigates their final matches, Klopp’s squad depth is under scrutiny. With pivotal fixtures looming, the Reds face an uphill battle to salvage their campaign amidst the injury turmoil.
