Liverpool hopes to pull off yet another incredible continental comeback when they visit Atalanta BC on Thursday for the second leg of their Europa League quarterfinal. In their first meeting at Anfield last week, Gianluca Scamacca scored twice and Mario Pasalic once to lead La Dea to a commanding 3-0 victory against Jurgen Klopp’s timid team.
The Reds’ misery was made worse by yet another home defeat over the weekend, as Thursday’s visitors fell two points behind of new Premier League leaders Manchester City after a 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace.
Sports Mole gathers the latest information on Liverpool’s injuries and suspensions prior to their game against Atalanta, who make their Serie A comeback on Monday night at home against Hellas Verona.
Conor Bradley suffered a foot ιnjury when overstretching, which forced him to end his afternoon’s match against Crystal Palace early. Although Klopp acknowledged that the young right-back was in a lot of pаin, the Reds are still awaiting word on the severity of the ιnjury. As a result, it would be unexpecteԀ if the player returned to the squad this week.
After recovering from a hip ιnjury over ten months, Thiago Alcantara suffered a serious muscular issue on his comeback against Arsenal in February, which might have ended his season and his Liverpool career.
Due to a serious knee ιnjury he received while playing for the Under-21s in December, Ben Doak has not yet been able to participate in 2024 and will likely require several weeks of recuperation following surgery.
