Liverpool vs. Arsenal: Injury Updates and Available Squad for Premier League Clash
Liverpool is set to face Arsenal in a crucial Premier League match this weekend, with the opportunity to overtake their opponents and claim the top spot in the table. However, Jurgen Klopp will have to navigate the game without several key players who are currently sidelined due to injuries.
In their pursuit of a Christmas lead, Liverpool will have to cope without Alexis Mac Allister, who is still recovering from a knee bone cut sustained during their 2-0 victory against Sheffield United. On a positive note, Ryan Gravenberch has been declared fit by Klopp and is expected to feature in the midfield.
Diogo Jota, who has resumed ball work in training, is nearing a return but won’t be available for the clash against Arsenal. The timeline for the return of Thiago and Stefan Bajcetic remains uncertain, while Joel Matip’s ACL injury may mark the end of his time at the club as his contract expires in the summer.
Additionally, Andy Robertson and Ben Doak will also be absent from the Liverpool squad due to injury concerns, with Doak’s issue expected to be a long-term one.
Despite these setbacks, Liverpool still boasts a strong squad for the match against Arsenal. The available squad includes goalkeepers Alisson, Kelleher, Adrian, and Pitaluga. Defenders Van Dijk, Konate, Gomez, Quansah, Alexander-Arnold, Tsimikas, Bradley, Chambers, and Scanlon are also ready for action. In midfield, Endo, Szoboszlai, Jones, Elliott, and Gravenberch will provide depth. The forward line features Salah, Gakpo, Diaz, Nunez, and Gordon.
Liverpool will be aiming to secure a crucial victory against Arsenal and maintain their title challenge. Despite the absence of some key players, Klopp’s side possesses enough quality and depth to pose a significant threat to their opponents.
