This weekend’s matchup between West Ham and Liverpool in the Premier League raises more concerns about the health of several prominent players.
The Reds made it five victories in a row when they overcame LASK 3-1 in their Europa League debut, and they’ll be eager to keep that momentum going on Sunday.
Due to the quick turnaround, we can anticipate more changes against the Hammers. Jurgen Klopp started with an entirely different starting lineup from the team that defeated Wolves by three points five days earlier.
The manager will be considering both short-term and long-term injury concerns as he plans his lineup for this game, keeping an eye on players who played the full 90 minutes on Thursday night in Austria.
On Sunday afternoon, these people are available and others who might miss out are listed:
available Virgil van Dijk (suspension)
skepticism Ryan Gravenberch (cramp)
Possibly Trent Alexander-Arnold (hamstring)
Unavailable is Thiago (hip).
Conor Bradley is not available (back).
Due to cramp, Ryan Gravenberch’s complete debut against LASK was cut short when he was replaced by Mohamed Salah with 15 minutes remaining. It is unknown at this time whether he will be able to play this weekend.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is still a question for West Ham as he recovers from a hamstring injury that has kept him out since Aston Villa. On Wednesday, he did not participate in team training.
Since being sidelined with a hip injury in April, Thiago has yet to play a single game this year. Additionally, he skipped training on Wednesday.
After serving an extra two-game suspension due to the red card against Newcastle, Virgil van Dijk is eligible to play in the Premier League once more.
