LFC vs. Man United: Team News, Injuries, and Squad Availability
Liverpool Football Club (LFC) is gearing up for their highly anticipated FA Cup quarter-finals match against Manchester United (Man United) this Sunday. Despite being plagued by injuries throughout the season, Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s manager, is confident in his ability to field a strong team.
Throughout the campaign, Liverpool has struggled with constant fitness issues. However, there is now a glimmer of hope as the team’s injury problems seem to be easing. Although key players like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Curtis Jones, and Diogo Jota may still be absent from the lineup, there have been positive updates regarding their availability.
According to reports, Jones is expected to return after the international break, making him eligible for Liverpool’s match against Brighton on March 31. On the other hand, Alexander-Arnold and Jota could make their comeback during the Premier League game against Man United at Old Trafford on April 7.
While Liverpool is still without several influential figures, Klopp now has enough players at his disposal to form a formidable starting XI for the upcoming clash at Old Trafford. Ibrahima Konate may be sidelined due to a hamstring injury, but Ryan Gravenberch has recovered from an ankle problem sustained during the Carabao Cup final and is available for selection.
Sadly, Joel Matip and Thiago may be out for the remainder of the season, and Ben Doak is yet to make his return. However, there is positive news as Stefan Bajcetic has resumed light training. Klopp emphasized the importance of not rushing Bajcetic’s return, stating that the young player needs to be physically ready before being utilized fully.
Unfortunately for Liverpool, Alisson Becker’s absence is likely to continue for an extended period. There have been no updates on his condition, suggesting that fans will have to wait longer for his return.
Here is the current list of players available for selection against Man United:
Goalkeepers: Kelleher, Adrian, Mrozek
Defenders: Van Dijk, Gomez, Quansah, Nallo, Robertson, Bradley, Tsimikas
Midfielders: Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Endo, Elliott, Gravenberch, Clark, McConnell, Nyoni
Forwards: Salah, Nunez, Diaz, Gakpo, Koumas, Gordon, Musialowski, Danns
In conclusion, Liverpool is optimistic about their chances in the upcoming FA Cup quarter-finals match against Man United. Despite ongoing injury concerns, Klopp can field a strong team with the resources at his disposal. With key players gradually returning to fitness and the depth of their squad, Liverpool is prepared to give their rivals a tough challenge on Sunday.
