Liverpool’s injury situation has improved as they prepare for their crucial Premier League match against Fulham today at Anfield. The Reds are looking to maintain their strong momentum in the league.
Manager Arne Slot has some key players returning to the squad, but several are still unavailable. Liverpool is currently four points ahead of Chelsea in the standings, with a game in hand after last weekend’s postponed Merseyside derby.
Available and unavailable players for today’s match:
- Diogo Jota (rib) – available
- Federico Chiesa (fitness) – possible
- Alexis Mac Allister (suspended) – out
- Tyler Morton (knock) – out
- Ibrahima Konate (knee) – out
- Conor Bradley (hamstring) – out
- Kostas Tsimikas (ankle) – out
There is optimism on the injury front, with Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa both returning to full training. Jota is expected to feature in today’s match, and Slot will assess Chiesa’s fitness before making a final decision.
However, key players like Ibrahima Konate, Conor Bradley, and Tyler Morton remain sidelined. Kostas Tsimikas is expected to return later this month after recovering from an ankle injury.
Suspensions:
- Alexis Mac Allister will miss the match due to suspension after accumulating five yellow cards in the Premier League.
Expected Lineup:
Liverpool’s starting lineup is expected to resemble the one that secured a 1-0 win away to Girona earlier in the week, with Slot possibly making a few tactical adjustments.
Liverpool’s available squad vs. Fulham:
- Goalkeepers: Alisson, Kelleher, Jaros
- Defenders: Van Dijk, Gomez, Quansah, Nallo, Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Norris
- Midfielders: Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Jones, Endo, Elliott, McConnell, Nyoni
- Forwards: Salah, Diaz, Gakpo, Nunez, Jota, Chiesa
Stay tuned for updates as Liverpool looks to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League.
