Liverpool were hoping for good news for a trio of players pushing fitness ahead of their mid-week game against FC Midtjylland. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be on the cards as Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip and Naby Keita are likely to miss the match.
“It’s still what I said last week, we watch day after day,” said Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
“It looks like we’ll need a few more days. They probably won’t be ready for tomorrow night. “
Thiago and Joel Matip both hobbled away after the derby against Everton. Thiago was the recipient of a nasty duel from Richarlison that saw the Brazilian sent off – after Jordan Pickford’s reckless challenge went unpunished early in the game and before Lucas Digne was sent off against Southampton that weekend – but I digress. Matip suffered no apparent injury, but after the match it turned out he had suffered another blow.
Naby Keita, on the other hand, had just returned to Liverpool after a negative Covid-19 test when he sustained an injury during training.
With a lack of options in central defense, Fabinho was drafted into the ambulance service. Both Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum have alternated holding midfield roles in some provisional midfield alignments.
Hopefully the trio will be fit in a short time. Liverpool have a large number of games ahead of them. After a resurgent West Ham side at the weekend, Liverpool face Atalanta twice in the Champions League games against Manchester City and Leicester City.
