Liverpool will be missing six important players for their upcoming trip to Newcastle.
Liverpool will be missing six key players for their upcoming Premier League match against Newcastle United.
After impressive wins over Real Madrid and Manchester City, Liverpool travels to St James’ Park for the Wednesday clash. While Newcastle fans are concerned about the fitness of Alexander Isak, who was forced off early in their recent match against Crystal Palace, Liverpool also faces significant injury setbacks.
The main concerns for Liverpool are in defense, with Ibrahima Konate, Conor Bradley, and Kostas Tsimikas all sidelined due to injuries sustained in the past two weeks. Both Konate and Bradley picked up injuries following strong performances in the Champions League win over Real Madrid, which kept them out of last weekend’s match against City. Tsimikas, meanwhile, suffered an ankle injury during training and was seen watching the City game in a boot and on crutches, indicating his return is not imminent.
Liverpool’s goalkeeper Alisson is also out, having suffered a hamstring injury in the final moments of their victory over Crystal Palace. Manager Arne Slot gave an update on Alisson’s recovery, stating the goalkeeper is progressing but will only return when fully fit to avoid risking both his and the team’s performance.
Additionally, forward pair Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa are doubtful for the Newcastle match. Jota, who injured himself in October against Chelsea, hasn’t had many updates, while Chiesa, who recently returned to training, still needs to regain match fitness before returning to the
squad.
