Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. LASK Linz

Jurgen Klopp's side could have confirmed a spot in the last 16 with two matches to spare against Toulouse three weeks ago, only to fall to a shock 3-2 defeat versus the Ligue 1 crop.

The Reds therefore remain catchable at this stage of proceedings, but a fourth win from five Europa League matches will mean that Liverpool - who came from behind to hold Manchester City to a 1-1 draw in the weekend's Premier League clash - can only finish second at the very worst.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the visit of LASK, who are at the foot of Group E with just three points under their belt.

Alisson Becker

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Thigh

Possible return date: November 30 (vs. LASK)

As Man City prepared to take a last-minute corner on Saturday, Alisson Becker - who had endured an off day in between the sticks - went down in the box clutching the back of his thigh before playing through the pain for the final few seconds. The Brazilian goalkeeper was immediately sent for scans, and while his status remains unclear, Caoimhin Kelleher was always expected to come back in goal here.

Diogo Jota

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Muscular

Possible return date: November 30 (vs. LASK)

Prior to Alisson's concern, Diogo Jota left the Etihad field early in the second half with an apparent muscular problem, and while Klopp was none the wiser about the Portuguese attacker's problem either, it would be a shock to see him involved in midweek.

Andrew Robertson

Status: Out

Type of injury: Shoulder

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

Andrew Robertson recently underwent surgery on the dislocated shoulder he sustained during the October international break, and while his recovery is on track, the left-back will still miss the remainder of 2023.

Thiago Alcantara

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hip

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

Robertson will be kept company for the next few weeks by Thiago Alcantara, who has been plagued by a hip injury and setbacks for seven months now, and a return before January is highly unlikely.

Stefan Bajcetic

Status: Out

Type of injury: Calf

Possible return date: Unknown

Thiago's compatriot Stefan Bajcetic had only just recovered from an adductor problem before re-entering the medical bay with a calf concern relating to his growth, and there is no telling when the teenager will be fit enough for first-team duty again.
