Jurgen Klopp has a new injury concern ahead of quarter-final comeback mission
Close

Liverpool face a daunting task tonight to try and overturn their heavy Europa League quarter-final deficit against Atalanta.
The Reds were dismantled 3-0 at Anfield last Thursday in a huge shock for Jurgen Klopp’s side, who then lost ground in the Premier League title race by falling to another surprise defeat at home to Crystal Palace on Sunday.
It remains to be seen whether or not Klopp will go completely full strength for the trip to Italy, particularly with his team needing to catch up domestically when they travel to Fulham this weekend ahead of a midweek Merseyside derby.
Alisson made his comeback in the Palace defeat and was on pre-match press duty in Italy, so will likely continue in goal.
Conor Bradley came off injured on Sunday and has not travelled, meaning Trent Alexander-Arnold will likely make his first start since February this evening.
Diogo Jota is available again too, although the game comes too soon for Stefan Bajcetic despite his recent return to action.
Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip and Ben Doak are all still long-term absentees for Liverpool, meanwhile.
Injured: Doak, Thiago, Matip, Bradley, Bajcetic
Time and date: 8pm BST on Thursday April 18, 2024
