Liverpool go into its vital Premier League game against Fulham with a healthy squad for Jürgen Klopp to chose from. Here is every player available for the Reds’ boss.
Liverpool is back in action this weekend as the Premier League title race nears its conclusion. There are only six games remaining and after its exit from the Europa League quarter-final exit at the hands of Atalanta, Liverpool travels to London to face Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Jürgen Klopp no doubt knows that after the league defeat to Crystal Palace at Anfield, Liverpool needs to be perfect from here on out: no more mistakes, every game needs to be won. Even a draw at this time of the season could be considered as costly as a defeat.
Despite winning in Bergamo and exiting Europe earlier than Klopp would have liked, the good news is that no player returned to England with an injury. That means the German has a very strong squad to pick from for the trip to West London.
Aside from Northern Irish international Conor Bradley and long-term casualties Thiago Alcântara, Ben Doak and Joël Matip, Klopp has a full squad to choose from. Bradley looks set to be out for the next several weeks after picking up an ankle injury against Palace, while Thiago, Matip and Doak most likely won’t play again this season.
Alisson Becker has returned to full fitness and will continue to start in goal at the expense of Caoimhin Kelleher. Trent Alexander-Arnold started his first game in two months against Atalanta, and will start at right-back with Bradley injured. Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté are likely to retain their places at the heart of the Reds’ defense, while Andy Robertson will start at left-back.
Klopp has plenty of options in midfield, with Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endō, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch all available. The same also applies in attack, with Klopp having a full selection of forwards to choose from. Diogo Jota could be pushing hard for a start having been on the bench for the Atalanta game, while Mohamed Salah’s poor form means there is a decision to be made over whether or not he starts.
Moreover, Jayden Danns also featured in Bergamo and could be handed more minutes at Craven Cottage. Here Liverpool.com brings you the full list of players available to the manager as the Reds look to keep the pressure on Manchester City at the top.
