Liverpool defenders Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joel Matip are going to miss upcoming matches for up to three weeks due to injuries.
Arnold, who is also England’s right-back, has an ankle injury, while Joel Matip, who plays as a center-back, has a calf issue. The duo played against Arsenal in a match that ended 3-2 in favor of the premier league leaders – Arsenal.
Liverpool has six matches until the end of October. These matches include thei home match against the premier league champions, Manchester City. In a season that seems tough to Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp’s boys have to do unimaginable to reduce the 14 points gap between them and the winners.
As Liverpool aims at redeeming themselves from the 10th position, Arthur Melo, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are among the missing midfielders due to thigh injuries. However, Curtis Jones comes as a rescue to Liverpool’s porous defense after being reported to be back in training and expected to play against Rangers on Wednesday.
The Reds fans have high expectations on the squad, although many players will not be on the pitch. Mohamed Salah is one of the players who is expected to pull up his socks and fight for the club as he usually does in the previous seasons.
With almost the first half of the season coming to an end, there are still more games for Liverpool to make a U-turn and become the best EPL team they have been. It can only take Jurgen Klopp a little tweak on the squad by including the silent talents that are usually warming the bench.
