Liverpool Optimistic About Injury Situation Ahead of Manchester City Clash

Liverpool FC is hopeful that their injury concerns will be significantly alleviated before their upcoming match against Manchester City. Jurgen Klopp, the team’s manager, had to cope with the absence of eight players during their 3-0 victory over Brentford at Anfield prior to the international break.

Potential Relief for Liverpool

However, there is a sense of optimism that the situation will improve as the squad regroups for their encounter with the reigning Premier League champions. Alexis Mac Allister, who served a one-match suspension due to accumulated yellow cards, will be available for selection.

Furthermore, there is positive news regarding the fitness of four players who have recently been sidelined due to injuries.

Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate

Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate were unexpected absentees from the squad that faced Brentford. Gomez also had to withdraw from international duty with France due to an undisclosed issue. However, sources indicate that both players are dealing with minor problems that are expected to be resolved before the visit to the Etihad Stadium.

Ryan Gravenberch and Curtis Jones

Ryan Gravenberch, who had started four consecutive Premier League matches, was sidelined by a knee issue. However, it is believed that he will recover in time for the Manchester City clash. Curtis Jones, who has been dealing with hamstring trouble, will also be available to provide midfield competition.

Long-Term Absences

Liverpool’s injury list still includes Andy Robertson and Thiago, who are not expected to return to action until next year. Stefan Bajcetic is following a similar timeline as the club takes a cautious approach to his recovery. On the other hand, right-back Conor Bradley is making progress in his rehabilitation and is nearing a comeback.
