Liverpool injury news ahead of the Premier League clash against Brighton & Hove Albion at the AMEX Stadium.
Victory for the Reds at the AMEX Stadium tomorrow will see them move up to fourth in the table amid the battle for Champions League qualification. With Aston Villa, in fourth, not in action until the following day and fifth-placed Chelsea facing Everton later in the evening, Liverpool have an opportunity to put on the pressure.
Confidence should be high after the 4-0 triumph over Galatasaray in the Champions League, which moved Arne Slot’s side into the quarter-finals of the competition. However, Mo Salah - who scored and recorded an assist against the Turkish champions - was substituted in the 74th minute after signalling to the bench he wanted to come off.
And Salah will be ruled out of the Brighton clash, while he may also be doubtful for the FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester City after the international break. Liverpool head coach Slot said: “Indeed, unusual [he came off] and as a result, you can expect the outcome so not available. The good thing is we go into an international break, bad thing for Egypt is he can’t go. Hoping Mo can recover faster than others and history has shown he can be back earlier than some others. It’s only two weeks so let’s hope he could be back.”
Meanwhile, Joe Gomez continues to carry an issue. He was on the bench against Galatasaray but also has question marks over his availability. Slot added: “Joe already told me before the game he didn’t feel good. He might be available for tomorrow but definitely not to start.”
Alexander Isak (broken leg), Wataru Endo (ankle), Giovanni Leoni and Conor Bradley (both knee) remain sidelined along with Jayden Danns and Stefan Bajcetic (both hamstring).
