Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Norwich City

sportsmole.co.uk, 19 September 2021, 07:00
Liverpool kick off their 2021-22 EFL Cup campaign with a trip to Carrow Road to take on Norwich City in the third round on Tuesday evening.

Jurgen Klopp's side enter this battle on the back of a 3-0 success over Crystal Palace in the Premier League, during which Sadio Mane's 100th goal for the club preceded strikes from Mohamed Salah and Naby Keita.

The Reds certainly have bigger fish to fry as they seek to maintain their strong starts to Premier League and Champions League action, and numerous changes can be expected from Klopp for their midweek clash with the Premier League's basement side.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

Thiago Alcantara

Status: Out

Type of injury: Calf

Possible return date: Unknown

Thiago Alcantara pulled up with a calf problem during Liverpool's win over Palace - Klopp was unsure of the severity of the injury in his post-match press conference, but the midfielder will certainly not be risked here.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Illness

Possible return date: September 21 (vs. Norwich)

Trent Alexander-Arnold fell ill before the win over Palace, which led to James Milner featuring at right-back. It remains to be seen if Alexander-Arnold will recover in time for Tuesday, but Klopp will most likely rest him for the trip to Brentford anyway.

Harvey Elliott

Status: Out

Type of injury: Ankle

Possible return date: Unknown

Liverpool confirmed last week that Harvey Elliott has undergone successful ankle surgery following the serious injury he sustained against Leeds United, and the teenager is now expected to recuperate for the next six months.

Roberto Firmino

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: September 25 (vs. Brentford)

Roberto Firmino was not passed fit to face Palace as he continues to battle a hamstring problem, but there is a chance he could come back in time for next weekend's trip to Brentford.

Neco Williams

Status: Out

Type of injury: Ankle

Possible return date: Unknown

Neco Williams would have been hoping to earn a start at Carrow Road, but the Wales international is still plagued by an ankle issue and is not expected to feature.

LIVERPOOL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Liverpool have no players suspended for this match.
