The next Premier League match pits Liverpool against Manchester City, but Jurgen Klopp may be missing a number of important players.
A number of important players for Liverpool’s next match against Manchester City may be sidelined.
In recent years, the match has consistently had more significance for both teams, and this season is no exception. After 12 league games, Liverpool’s stellar start to the season has moved them just one point behind City in the top spot, raising the possibility that the Reds may launch another title assault.
After the international break, Jurgen Klopp’s players will travel to the Etihad to defend their title as legitimate challengers. However, as Liverpool manages their injury list, they might have to face Pep Guardiola’s squad without a number of important players.
Regarding defense, Ibrahima Konate’s availability for the match against City is in question. The center back has not traveled with France for the current round of matches. He was injured during the October international break and missed the team’s victory over Brentford. French reporters have speculated that Konate is recuperating from a minor hamstring problem, despite the fact that an official explanation of his injury has not been disclosed.
Another player missing from the team that defeated Brentford 3-0 was Joe Gomez. Given his strong season debut, the adaptable defender’s absence was unexpected, and Liverpool’s failure to release an official diagnosis cast doubt on his availability against Manchester City.
