Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp presented a squad update in the pre-match press conference ahead of the Reds’ encounter against Tottenham, as there was more negative news than positive in that regard.

Here’s what the manager said via ECHO:

“Trent trained normally yesterday. Will train normally today. We must make a choice. He appears to be in the squad and will play. Stefan had a minor setback. A tiny calf problem. Thiago is still absent. Conor is still absent.”

While Trent Alexander-Arnold’s inclusion in the starting lineup against Tottenham is encouraging, there was nothing more to shout about in terms of other players. Due to their various injury layoffs, Stefan Bajcetic, Thiago Alcantara, and Conor Bradley remain sidelined.

When it comes to Bajcetic, he has returned after a lengthy injury layoff, and it is upsetting to see him on the bench once more. A calf problem has caused a little setback for the bright young prospect. While the setback is regarded as “minor,” it is critical to handle such difficulties with caution, especially when dealing with young players. Klopp’s medical staff will work tirelessly to ensure Bajcetic’s complete recovery and a smooth return to training and match fitness.

Injury Report

Thiago is still out with an injury. While Liverpool’s midfield has performed excellently in his absence, there is no questioning Thiago’s inventiveness and control on the field. Liverpool will be looking forward to hearing more about his recuperation process and hoping for a quick return to action.

Bradley, for his part, is currently recovering from his injuries and is not available for selection. The gifted right-back has a bright future ahead of him, and Liverpool’s coaching staff will closely monitor his recovery to ensure he recovers to full health on time.

Liverpool fans will be hoping that those who are now injured recover quickly. As we all know, Thiago and Bajcetic can make significant contributions to the Reds, while Bradley can provide backup for Trent and Gomez if the occasion arises.

As they aspire for success in domestic and European events, Klopp and his squad will continue to analyze and manage these injuries.
