Your Friday LFC news round up features an update on the injury situation and Graham Potter on Mason Mount’s future.
No Diaz, Thiago or Gomez for Bournemouth
Jurgen Klopp provided an injury update ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Bournemouth this weekend and confirmed that Luis Diaz, Thiago and Joe Gomez are likely to only feature after the international break.
Klopp told the media that Gomez and Diaz should begin full training next week, but said we will have to “wait and see” with regards to Thiago‘s return.
There was more positive news, however, in that the manager reported no new injury worries following Sunday’s 7-0 win over Man United.

Statement of the day
Gary Lineker is being taken off Match of the Day, we’re reading between the lines, until “an agreement is reached on his social media use,” say the BBC.
It comes after Lineker’s criticism of the government’s new asylum policy, which is considered a breach of the BBC’s impartiality rules – funny how they overlook everything else!
Ian Wright is standing in solidarity though:
Everybody knows what Match of the Day means to me, but I’ve told the BBC I won’t be doing it tomorrow. Solidarity.
