Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Fulham

sportsmole.co.uk, 1 December 2023, 07:00
Seeking an 11th win from 11 home games in the 2023-24 season, Liverpool host Fulham at Anfield in Sunday's Premier League encounter.

The Reds advanced to the last 16 of the Europa League with a 4-0 drubbing of LASK Linz in Group E on Thursday, where Cody Gakpo netted a brace alongside a Luis Diaz header and Mohamed Salah penalty.

Prior to extending their unblemished Merseyside streak, Jurgen Klopp's men fought back from a goal down to hold treble winners Manchester City to a 1-1 top-flight draw last weekend, but they were bumped down to third in the rankings by new leaders Arsenal a few hours later.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the visit of Fulham, who came out on the correct end of a 3-2 scoreline in Monday's controversial affair with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Alisson Becker

Status: Out

Type of injury: Thigh

Possible return date: December 14 (vs. Union SG)

Alisson Becker was one of two casualties from Liverpool's draw with Man City, going down with a thigh concern deep into second-half injury time, and the Reds will have to cope without their number one goalkeeper for the next couple of weeks.

Diogo Jota

Status: Out

Type of injury: Muscular

Possible return date: Unknown

Earlier in the second half of last weekend's Etihad encounter, Diogo Jota left the field with an apparent leg problem of his own - which is more serious than Alisson's - and Klopp cannot say for sure when the Portuguese attacker will be back in action.

Andrew Robertson

Status: Out

Type of injury: Shoulder

Possible return date: January 1 (vs. Newcastle United)

Andrew Robertson is making steady progress in his recovery from a dislocated shoulder and subsequent operation, but there is no chance of the left-back making his return before the New Year rolls around.

Thiago Alcantara

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hip

Possible return date: January 1 (vs. Newcastle United)

Veteran midfielder Thiago Alcantara has been sidelined by a hip injury since April and has seen his return date pushed back by a couple of complications, but there is hope that he will also be back at Klopp's disposal at the start of January.

Stefan Bajcetic

Status: Out

Type of injury: Calf

Possible return date: Unknown

Thiago's fellow Spaniard Stefan Bajcetic has only played twice this season due to his previous adductor problem and ongoing calf injury, and the Liverpool medical team are not rushing the 19-year-old in his recuperation, as his latest issue is related to his growth.

LIVERPOOL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Liverpool have no players suspended for this match.
