RB Leipzigvs.Liverpool

sportsmole.co.uk, 21 October 2024, 06:28
Out to make it three for three in the 2024-25 Champions League campaign, Liverpool head to Germany to pit their wits against RB Leipzig on Wednesday evening.

Arne Slot continues to ride cloud nine on Merseyside and oversaw his 10th win from 11 matches in charge at the weekend, as the Reds bested Chelsea 2-1 to remain top of the Premier League table.

The six-time European Cup winners have also made the perfect start to their latest continental adventure, following up their 3-1 victory over AC Milan with a 2-0 beating of Bologna on matchday two.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Leipzig, who lost 3-2 to Juventus last time out on the continent.

Diogo Jota

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Unspecified

Possible return date: October 23 (vs. Leipzig)

Diogo Jota was forced off on the half-hour mark against Chelsea after appearing to hurt his side in a challenge with Tosin Adarabioyo, and while Slot is still not sure how severe his problem is, he has emerged as a huge doubt for Wednesday.

Alisson Becker

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: November 24 (vs. Southampton)

Number one goalkeeper Alisson Becker damaged his hamstring in the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace before the international break, and the Brazilian is expected to be sidelined until the latter period of November.

Federico Chiesa

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Unspecified

Possible return date: October 23 (vs. Leipzig)

Federico Chiesa picked up an unspecified knock before the UCL win over Bologna at the start of the month, and updates on his condition have been scarce, so he remains a serious doubt for the midweek affair.

Harvey Elliott

Status: Out

Type of injury: Foot

Possible return date: November 9 (vs. Aston Villa)

There was initially hope that Harvey Elliott might be able to return from his foot fracture at the end of this month, but the youngster may need a couple more weeks to get back up to speed, even though he is now running outdoors again.

LIVERPOOL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Liverpool have no players suspended for this match, but Ibrahima Konate - who faces his old team this week - is one yellow card away from a Champions League suspension.
