Team updates for the Bournemouth vs. Liverpool match were released 12 hours ago by Sam Williams. Liverpool is expected to face the game without at least 10 players, including Thiago Alcantara, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Stefan Bajcetic, Ben Doak, Joel Matip, Andy Robertson, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Kostas Tsimikas, all sidelined due to injuries. Jürgen Klopp doesn’t anticipate any returns for this match, and Wataru Endo and Mohamed Salah are also unavailable as they are participating in the Asian Cup and Africa Cup of Nations, respectively.
Klopp mentioned during Friday’s pre-match press conference that the recovering players on Merseyside are progressing positively but won’t be ready for the Bournemouth game. He expressed hope that no additional players will be sidelined. The manager noted that some may join team training next week, with potential returns for the following match against Fulham.
Luis Diaz could mark his 50th Premier League appearance for Liverpool. The team statistics comparison between Bournemouth and Liverpool in the English Premier League is also provided.
On the Bournemouth side, Tyler Adams, Ryan Fredericks, Milos Kerkez, Dango Ouattara, Antoine Semenyo, Marcos Senesi, and Adam Smith are unavailable. Lloyd Kelly might make a return after a two-month lay-off, but his participation is not guaranteed. Adam Smith is still out, and Milos Kerkez, Ryan Fredericks, and Tyler Adams are facing longer-term injuries. Semenyo and Ouattara are on international duty, but James Hill is available to coach Andoni Iraola after returning from a loan spell with Blackburn Rovers.
