Liverpool’s squad is gearing up for their upcoming match against Tottenham, which will be Jurgen Klopp’s second-to-last home game before bidding farewell to the team. Despite a challenging April that dashed their hopes of winning any silverware, the Reds remain focused on finishing the season strong.
In training, Conor Bradley made a return after recovering from an ankle injury. The 20-year-old is expected to be available for selection, unlike Diogo Jota, Thiago, Ben Doak, and Joel Matip, who are still receiving treatment for their respective injuries.
One player who seemed to be in high spirits during training was Mohamed Salah. After a heated exchange with Klopp during the West Ham match, all eyes will be on Salah’s performance against Tottenham. The incident further highlights the spotlight that Salah constantly finds himself under due to his exceptional talent.
The training session also saw the participation of 17-year-old center-back Amara Nallo, along with academy members James McConnell and Kaide Gordon. Unfortunately, Bobby Clark was absent from the session and will miss the remainder of the season due to an injury that prematurely ended his breakout campaign.
While most of the squad was present and accounted for during training, Virgil van Dijk was notably absent. It remains unclear why he was not spotted, but more information is expected to be provided by Klopp during his press conference on Friday morning.
Looking ahead to the match against Tottenham, Liverpool’s squad is packed with talent. Alisson, Kelleher, Adrian, and Mrozek make up the goalkeeping options. The defensive line includes Konate, Quansah, Gomez, Nallo, Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Bradley, and Tsimikas. In midfield, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Endo, Elliott, Jones, Gravenberch, Bajcetic, and McConnell are available. Up front, Salah, Diaz, Nunez, Gakpo, and Gordon provide attacking options.
While Jota, Thiago, Matip, and Doak were not present during training, their absence does not necessarily rule them out for the upcoming match. Klopp’s press conference will offer further clarity on the squad’s availability and potential line-up.
As Liverpool prepares to face Tottenham, Klopp and his team are undoubtedly aiming to end the season on a positive note. With only three games remaining, they will be looking to secure as many points as possible and leave a lasting impression before Klopp’s departure.
