Liverpool now have an extended break as they continue their battle for European football. The Reds picked up a valuable point against Arsenal over the weekend, coming from two goals behind, but as things stand, they are 12 points off the top four and a more manageable three points off the top six, with a game in-hand to play over sixth-placed Aston Villa.
Jurgen Klopp’s men are back in action on Monday night when they face Leeds United, and they should get one more player back from injury amid an injury-ridden season. Here we take a look at Leeds’ upcoming opponents and their current injury list along with the possible return date for each player.
1. Naby Keita
It’s unknown when Keita will return from injury after picking up an issue during the last international break. Fans will have to wait for Klopp to give some insight on this one.
2. Stefan Bajcetic
Bajcetic has an issue in the pelvic region and will miss the rest of the season.
4. Thiago Alcantara
Thiago came off the bench against Arsenal and he should now be fit to start against Leeds.
5. Luis Diaz
Diaz will be back for the Leeds clash, with Klopp saying: “The plan with Luis is that he will be available 100 per cent for Leeds. Again, it looks good, everything is fine, but it was a long, long injury and, so we have to be careful. We will probably not involve him for Sunday.”
