Following a hectic Friday morning, Liverpool had to get ready for their FA Cup match against Norwich in the afternoon.
Norwich vs. Liverpool FC team news: injuries and available squad.
With any luck, Jurgen Klopp will be able to start players who are recovering from injuries against Norwich as he starts his final stint as manager of Liverpool.
This would increase the likelihood that Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dominik Szoboszlai will be at their peak for the games against Chelsea and Arsenal the following week.
Who might be absent from Liverpool vs. Norwich is as follows:
Although not match fit, Andy Robertson (shoulder) is available.
Dominik Szoboszlai is doubtful, but he is back in the gym.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is doubtful, but he is back in the gym.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is doubtful, but he is back in the gym.
Mohamed Salah is not available (AFCON/hamstring).
Unavailable is Wataru Endo (Asian Cup).
Unavailable is Kostas Tsimikas (collarbone).
Thiago (hip): not provided, but minimal instruction
Due to growing pains, Stefan Bajcetic is not available.
Ben Doak (MCL) is not accessible.
Joel Matip (ACL) is not accessible.
Following his shoulder dislocation during an international encounter in early October, Robertson has been sidelined for 22 Liverpool games.
Even if he surprised everyone by coming off the bench against Fulham on Wednesday, he is still far from being at his best.
At Anfield, he will probably start as a substitute and, ideally, be able to play if the Reds are leading handily in the second half.
The same could be said for Szoboszlai and Alexander-Arnold, albeit the latter is believed to be a few days behind the former in his recuperation, even though they haven’t been gone for nearly as long.
Both of them have “a chance” to play in the FA Cup fourth round match, according to Klopp.
Klopp stated that Tsimikas is “actually fit,” but he must wait for approval to start contract training again. Thiago, meanwhile, unexpectedly returned to the training field, but he is not expected to play on Sunday.
Mo Salah and Wataru Endo are not playing because of injuries and international commitments, while Stefan Bajcetic, Joel Matip, and Ben Doak are still out with various long-term problems.
Goalkeepers: Adrian, Mrozek, Kelleher, Alisson
