Liverpool FC team news vs. Toulouse – Injuries and available squad

Liverpool have a strong squad heading out to France, but there are still a few players missing for their match against Toulouse.

After fielding a strong side against Bournemouth in the League Cup, several key players played three full games last week.

This and the fact we’ve almost qualified from the group already, will likely add up to multiple changes as the Reds return to Europa League action.

Here’s who is out for Liverpool vs. Toulouse:

Ryan Gravenberch (knee) – unavailable
Curtis Jones (hamstring) – unavailable
Virgil van Dijk (illness) – unavailable
Conor Bradley (back) – unavailable
Thiago (hip) – unavailable
Stefan Bajcetic (calf) – unavailable
Andy Robertson (shoulder) – unavailable

Virgil van Dijk will not be involved after being left at home, with Jurgen Klopp revealing that the defender has a slight illness.

Ryan Gravenberch and Curtis Jones both stay at home for different reasons. The two midfielders missed training on Wednesday and Klopp explained that Jones has a hamstring issue and Gravenberch a small knee problem.

Both are unlikely to be available for Sunday’s visit of Brentford to Anfield, either.

Conor Bradley was a refreshing face to see in Liverpool training, but he was only involved in light work and isn’t close to a return.

Fellow youngster Ben Doak is fit again and is expected to start on the right.

On the opposite flank, Luis Diaz is in contention to play but his availability depends on his feelings and the situation regarding his father.

Wataru Endo, Harvey Elliott and Alexis Mac Allister should start in Liverpool’s midfield, with the latter missing Sunday’s Premier League match this Sunday due to suspension.
