Injury issues are finally easing for the Reds

Liverpool hope Darwin Nunez will be ready for Sunday’s clash with Brighton after the Uruguayan was one of several Reds players to enter the international break with an injury concern.

The striker withdrew from his national team squad as a result of a hamstring issue which Jurgen Klopp revealed after the FA Cup defeat to Manchester United before the international break.

But reports suggest Nunez will be fit for the visit of the Seagulls, ahead of an update by Klopp in Friday’s pre-game press conference.

Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and Ibrahima Konate should also be in the squad having featured for their countries over the past week following injury worries.

Diaz and Gakpo felt groin and ankle trouble, respectively, at Old Trafford while Konate played for France after sitting out four Liverpool matches due to a thigh issue.

One player who has returned from the internationals contending with a new fitness problem is Andrew Robertson, who hurt his ankle playing for Scotland.

The injury is said to only be minor but still makes him a major doubt to face Brighton.

Should the left-back miss out, Joe Gomez is the likely candidate to fill in to allow Conor Bradley to return on the right side of defence.

Ryan Gravenberch could be fit to make his first start since the Carabao Cup final having overcome the ankle injury he suffered at Wembley.

Another option for the midfield may arrive in Curtis Jones’ potential return from his own ankle issue.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota are nearing full fitness but are reportedly earmarked for comebacks early next month.
