Liverpool faces defensive challenges as Joe Gomez’s return from injury is anticipated soon after Jarell Quansah’s scare against Tottenham

With Quansah out, Liverpool might only have two center-backs available for their upcoming FA Cup match against Accrington Stanley. Virgil van Dijk might have to play again since the team is a bit short on options. Ibrahima Konate is back, but they need to be careful with his minutes since he just returned from injury.
Now, Joe Gomez is the other center-back option, but he’s currently sidelined with a hamstring injury he picked up at West Ham. The manager, Arne Slot, mentioned that Gomez should be back in a few weeks, which is a relief. He’s confident in the team’s ability to handle the situation, especially given their recent performances.
If things get tight, they might have to rely on Wataru Endo, who stepped in after Quansah went off, or even Ryan Gravenberch, who played in defense last month. There’s also young Amara Nallo, who could get a chance to shine in the FA Cup.
This weekend’s match could be a great opportunity to give some younger players a shot while resting the regulars. After all, they just played a tough match against Tottenham, where they lost 1-0. The second leg is coming up soon, so they need to manage their squad wisely.
