Liverpool: The Reds might be without up to four players when they take on Manchester United this weekend. It’s a big match at Anfield, especially with the teams so far apart in the standings.
Joe Gomez is definitely out with a hamstring injury he picked up against West Ham. Ibrahima Konate could be back, but if he can’t go, Jarell Quansah will step in alongside Virgil van Dijk.
Conor Bradley is also close to returning, which is good news. As for Trent Alexander-Arnold, despite all the chatter about his future, he’s expected to play.
Federico Chiesa has had a tough time getting on the pitch since joining from Juventus. He’s not injured, but he’s been in and out of the squad. He missed the Spurs game due to a mild illness and wasn’t picked for the West Ham match.
Manager Arne Slot mentioned they’re working on Chiesa’s fitness. They want him to be ready but also need to balance that with getting him game time.
Overall, Slot has handled the injury situation pretty well. Even with Gomez out, the defense should hold up. If Konate returns soon, that’ll be a huge boost for the team.
