Seven players will be absent from Liverpool’s Premier League title match against Man City as Arsenal watches.
This weekend, Liverpool and Manchester City will be fighting for the Premier League title, but both teams will be missing several important players.
The Premier League title race is getting hotter, and Liverpool vs. Manchester City this weekend could change everything. Seven players from each club will miss the match due to serious injuries, though.
On Sunday afternoon, Liverpool, who just emerged victorious against Nottingham Forest, will play the defending champions at Anfield. Pep Guardiola’s team, meanwhile, will be celebrating their thrilling victory over Manchester United.
Both teams are keen to win, but Manchester City will get to sleep in one more day. On Thursday night, Liverpool takes on Sparta Prague in the Czech Republic in a tough Europa League contest.
In contrast, the Treble champions, who have a 3-1 aggregate advantage in the Champions League round of 16 second leg, will host Copenhagen on Wednesday night.
When Grealish was substituted off the pitch during Manchester City’s FA Cup victory over Luton Town earlier this month, he appeared distraught. The 28-year-old winger, who had just lately returned from an extended period of injury, received consolation from his teammates.
Since re-injuring his knee during Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over Burnley, Trent Alexander-Arnold has not participated in any games. Klopp has been using Conor Bradley as right-back throughout his absence.
Allison suffered a muscle injury at Kirkby during the pregame warm-up for Liverpool vs Brentford. Although Klopp believes the 31-year-old goalie might return following the March international break, it appears that his injury may be more serious than initially believed.
After Diogo Jota had to leave the field against Brentford on a stretcher, it was discovered that he had suffered a medial collateral ligament injury to his knee. Liverpool will truly miss Jota this weekend because Mohamed Salah is also dealing with a minor ailment.
Curtis Jones also suffered an ankle injury during the Brentford game at the G-Tech Community Stadium. Although the midfielder hasn’t appeared on the field since then, he is anticipated to return this month.
Lately, Thiago Alcantara has been struggling with injuries. He may have played his final game against Manchester City already, given his contract at Anfield expires in the summer.
Joel Matip sustained an ACL injury during Liverpool’s December match against Fulham. He had surgery, therefore he won’t be able to play until the summer.
