Liverpool FC team news vs. Bournemouth – Injuries and available squad
Liverpool host Bournemouth in the Premier League this weekend, with Alisson a major doubt after picking up an injury problem.
The Reds won 3-1 at AC Milan in the Champions League in midweek, but focus is now back on league form.
Last weekend’s abject 1-0 loss at home to Nottingham Forest still stings and Arne Slot will know the importance of a win against Bournemouth.
Here’s who is available and who is set to miss out against Bournemouth:
- Alisson (hamstring) – doubt
- Harvey Elliott (fractured foot) – out
- Jayden Danns (back) – out
In terms of injuries, Slot confirmed Alisson is a shock doubt for Saturday’s Game, having suffered a hamstring issue and failed to train on Friday.
This will be of huge concern to anyone of a Liverpool persuasion, considering the Brazilian missed months of last season, too.
Harvey Elliott‘s recovery from a fractured foot continues as he remains the only confirmed long-term absentee for the Reds.
Another headache that Slot will have ahead of the visit of Bournemouth is selection, with a plethora of options available.
Andy Robertson and Luis Diaz were rested in Milan and both will likely return to Liverpool’s starting lineup, coming in for Kostas Tsimikas and Cody Gakpo.
The latter was excellent at the San Siro, however, so it won’t be easy for Slot to leave out his compatriot.
Curtis Jones will hope for his first start of the season, should Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister or Dominik Szoboszlai need a breather.
Should Alisson miss out, as looks likely, Caoimhin Kelleher will once again fill in.
Liverpool’s available squad vs. Bournemouth
Goalkeepers: Alisson*, Kelleher, Jaros, Davies
Defenders: Van Dijk, Quansah, Konate, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Bradley, Tsimikas
Midfielders: Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Endo, Gravenberch, Jones, Morton, Nyoni
Forwards: Salah, Jota, Nunez, Diaz, Gakpo, Chiesa
