Liverpool Faces Injury Woes Ahead of Clash with Manchester City As The Reds Set To Be Without 10 Players

Liverpool is gearing up for a crucial encounter against arch-rivals Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday evening. 

Jurgen Klopp's side is eager for a positive outcome, especially after Arsenal's recent victory propelling them to the top of the Premier League table.

Injury Woes Plague Liverpool's Squad

However, the optimism is dampened by a significant injury crisis plaguing Jurgen Klopp's squad. While Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Darwin Nunez have recently returned from their respective absences, a host of key players remains unavailable. Alisson Becker, Curtis Jones, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota, Thiago Alcantara, Ryan Gravenberch, Joel Matip, Stefan Bajcetic, and Ben Doak will all be sidelined for the clash against City.

Concerns Mount over Ibrahima Konate's Fitness

Adding to the concerns, Liverpool's defensive lineup faces uncertainty with Ibrahima Konate. The center-back, crucial to the team's structure, was withdrawn during the second half of Liverpool's recent 5-1 victory over Sparta Prague due to a potential muscle issue.

Klopp, addressing the situation on Friday, expressed uncertainty about Konate's availability for the City match. Further assessment of the injury was slated before a decision could be reached, leaving Liverpool fans anxious about the defensive stability in this critical fixture.
