Liverpoolvs.Spurs

sportsmole.co.uk, 2 May 2024, 06:34
Liverpool's ambitions of Premier League glory could fully crash and burn when they welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Anfield for Sunday's Premier League fixture.

A dismal spell of one win from five games leaves the Reds five points behind Arsenal with three games remaining, and the gap to first place will increase to seven if Manchester City win their match in hand.

On the back of a 2-2 draw with West Ham United, Jurgen Klopp's men will be officially out of the title conversation if Man City beat Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday and they suffer defeat to Spurs one day later.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with the Lilywhites, who sit fifth in the top-flight standings.

Diogo Jota

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hip

Possible return date: May 13 (vs. Aston Villa)

Diogo Jota's latest fitness setback comes in the shape of a hip problem, which should not be serious enough to make him miss the rest of the season, but there is no chance he will be fit for the clash with Tottenham.

Conor Bradley

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Foot

Possible return date: May 5 (vs. Tottenham Hotspur)

Conor Bradley has spent a couple of weeks recovering from the foot injury he picked up in the home loss to Crystal Palace on April 14, and there is a slim chance that the right-back will force his way back into contention this weekend.

Thiago Alcantara

Status: Out

Type of injury: Muscle

Possible return date: Unknown

Thiago Alcantara spent 10 months recovering from a hip problem only to suffer a severe muscular injury on his comeback appearance against Arsenal in February, and the Spaniard may have played his last match for the Reds.

Joel Matip

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Joel Matip is in the same boat, as he has missed the entirety of 2024 with the ACL injury he sustained in December's win over Fulham and is now in the final two months of his Anfield contract.

Ben Doak

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

December also saw Ben Doak sustain a severe knee problem while playing for the Under-21s, and it remains unclear when the Scottish youngster might be back in action.

Bobby Clark

Status: Out

Type of injury: Unspecified

Possible return date: Unknown

On Wednesday, teenage midfielder Bobby Clark announced on social media that he would miss the remainder of the campaign due to an unspecified injury, although he would have never started Sunday's game anyway.

LIVERPOOL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Liverpool have no suspended players for this match.
