Nottingham Forest travel to Anfield this weekend after picking up all three points against Liverpool back in October. So who is fit for the Reds?
The Liverpool of old showed up at Leeds on Monday night, as a ruthless display culminated in a 6-1 scoreline and a first away win in two months.
A similar showing on Saturday afternoon would go a long way to securing another much-needed victory against a side battling for their lives at the foot of the table.
Jurgen Klopp told the media in his pre-match press conference that it is “impossible” that Roberto Firmino will feature this weekend, along with next week’s clashes with West Ham and Tottenham at least.
Here is a list of current injuries and those who are available for Liverpool vs. Nottingham Forest:
- Luis Diaz (knee) – available
- Ibrahima Konate (training absence) – likely available
- Joe Gomez (training absence) – likely available
- Roberto Firmino (muscle) – out
- Naby Keita (muscle) – out
- Calvin Ramsay (knee) – out
- Stefan Bajcetic (abductor) – out
Firmino’s injury rules him out for Saturday’s game and will now not be involved for the rest of April.
Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez were absent from team training earlier this week, but it is expected that both will be available, with the Liverpool Echo‘s Ian Doyle explaining that the defenders were taking part in individual programmes.
Luis Diaz is also in contention after coming off the bench to make his first appearance in six months during the win against Leeds.
Naby Keita continues to nurse a muscle injury, with a timeframe for his return remaining uncertain.
Calvin Ramsay and Stefan Bajcetic are unavailable for the remainder of the season.
