Liverpool Injury and Team News for Newcastle Match

Liverpool will face Newcastle United in their upcoming Premier League fixture with some important injury updates and team news shaping their lineup.

Goalkeeper Alisson Becker is expected to start as Liverpool’s first-choice keeper. In defense, Liverpool are likely to field Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk as central defenders, while Jeremie Frimpong and Josko Gvardiol could take the full-back positions. However, there are some doubts around Jeremie Frimpong and Josko Gvardiol’s fitness status, which may affect their availability.

In midfield, Dominik Szoboszlai, Joshua Kimmich (if fit), and Ryan Gravenberch are expected to be key players. There is some uncertainty about Gravenberch and Szoboszlai starting, with their fitness being monitored closely.

Attack-wise, Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Alexander Isak are anticipated to lead the front line. Notably, Isak has been the subject of transfer speculation, with Liverpool reportedly preparing a substantial bid despite Newcastle’s stance on retaining him. This has created a backdrop of tension ahead of the match but does not impact his expected participation.

Liverpool’s coach appears to be balancing between fielding a strong starting eleven and managing injury risks among key players, especially in defense and midfield.

To summarize, Liverpool's lineup for the Newcastle game may feature:

• Goalkeeper: Alisson
• Defenders: Frimpong (doubtful), Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez (potentially fit)
• Midfielders: Gravenberch (questionable), Szoboszlai (questionable), Mac Allister
• Forwards: Salah, Gakpo, Ekitike/Isak

This match will test Liverpool’s squad depth as they manage current injuries and transfer distractions.
