Triple injury boost for Liverpool ahead of Leicester clash

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has received a triple injury boost ahead of the his team’s clash with Premier League leaders Leicester City.

Realistically, the east Midlanders have got to venture north and at least give the Reds a game. And this coming Sunday may just be the most opportune time to play Jurgen Klopp’s side. Well, it’s as good as any other moment to meet the ‘mentality giants’ – as Klopp christened his men.

Liverpool receive injury boost ahead of big game

Now, Mohamed Salah’s involvement due to COVID-19 is currently being debated in mainstream media, so let’s examine some other Liverpool injury cases whose status’ may have altered.

First of all, Virgil Van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all unavailable for Klopp. Secondly, the champions have concerns over Jordan Henderson, Andy Robertson and Fabinho.

England have released Henderson due to a fitness problem; although there is a claim from Mirror Sport that he’ll be available for the Leicester contest. Robertson might feature for Scotland before the English top-flight fixture, making him likely to start for Liverpool. Finally, the Brazilian will probably go back to training, making his availability a possibility.

Praise for Leicester City boss
