Following the Reds’ 4-0 victory over LASK in the Europa League midweek, Jürgen Klopp declared his players had not sustained any injuries.
The manager gave clarification regarding Ibrahima Konate’s withdrawal on Thursday night before the hour mark: “Ibou, top [performance].” We removed him because it was a medical necessity. Don’t take any chances; give him a few minutes, but not too many.
Alisson Becker, who is out due to injury sustained at Manchester City, along with Diogo Jota, will continue to be substituted in goal by Caoimhin Kelleher.
Andy Robertson, Stefan Bajcetic, and Thiago Alcantara are the longer-term absentees.
During his pre-match press conference, Klopp expressed his uncertainty about maintaining a rotation schedule amidst nine matches in the upcoming month. We’ll see; it depends on who is accessible, I’m not sure. We could accomplish it [on Thursday], which is why we did.
“The most difficult time in world football is approaching,” he continued. This is a good beginning [against LASK], so let’s continue.
Meanwhile, Palhinha’s return to action strengthens Fulham. He missed Monday’s 3-2 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers because of a suspension.
Tosin Adarabioyo and Kenny Tete are getting ready for the Premier League trip to Anfield, but head coach Marco Silva has named four players who are unquestionably out.
“Kenny and Tos are getting well. Silva stated, “They require a great deal of time and a few minutes during games to be prepared.
“[Otherwise] essentially unchanged. Issa Diop is out; it’s good to see him participating more with the squad even though he’s not quite fit on the [training] field. Rodrigo Muniz and Tyrese Francois have replaced Adama Traore.
