Injuries continue to pose challenges for Liverpool as they prepare to face Sheffield United. The absence of key players such as Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota, and others has forced the team to adapt its lineup.
Manager Jurgen Klopp faces decisions regarding the fitness of Wataru Endo, who has picked up a knock, and the potential return of Andrew Robertson and Curtis Jones to the matchday squad after recovering from injuries. Additionally, Ibrahima Konate is in contention to bolster the defense, potentially replacing Jarell Quansah at center-back.
In midfield and attack, players like Ryan Gravenberch, Harvey Elliott, and Cody Gakpo are pushing for recalls, providing Klopp with options to freshen up the team. Gakpo could potentially replace either Diaz or Darwin Nunez in the attacking lineup.
Meanwhile, Sheffield United also grapple with injury concerns, with several key players sidelined, including Chris Basham, Rhian Brewster, and others. Vinicius Souza and Oliver Arblaster will be assessed ahead of kickoff after picking up knocks in their previous game.
Despite the challenges, McBurnie and Brereton Diaz are expected to lead the attack for Sheffield United, supported by Will Osula. In defense, Mason Holgate and Jack Robinson are set to join Anel Ahmedhodzic in central defense.
Both teams will look to navigate through their injury woes and field competitive lineups as they aim for a positive result in the upcoming fixture.
