Liverpool’s Injury Update and Expected Returns for Newcastle: Konate, Bradley, Alisson

After successfully navigating a significant challenge to their Premier League title ambitions, Liverpool is set to face Newcastle United on Wednesday evening.

The Reds secured a commendable 2-0 victory against reigning champions Manchester City on Sunday, with goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah proving decisive.

This victory not only extended their lead over Manchester City to 11 points but also maintained a nine-point cushion over both Arsenal and Chelsea, marking their 11th win in just 13 league matches this season.

In this update, Sports Mole provides the latest information on Liverpool’s injury and suspension status ahead of their match against the Magpies, who recently played to a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.

Ibrahima Konate

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Expected return date: Unknown

Ibrahima Konate suffered a knee injury during the 2-0 Champions League victory over Real Madrid last week.

He has since indicated on social media that he will be sidelined for an indeterminate period, making his availability for Wednesday’s match unlikely.

Conor Bradley

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Conor Bradley also sustained a hamstring injury in the match against Real Madrid.

He was unavailable for the encounter with Manchester City and is not expected to return for the game on Wednesday.

Kostas Tsimikas incurred an ankle injury during training in late November.

The extent of the injury remains unclear, but he is not anticipated to be fit for the match at St James’ Park.

Diogo Jota

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Abdominal

Possible return date: December 4 (vs. Newcastle United)

As mentioned by Slot a few weeks ago, Diogo Jota was unable to participate in the matches against Real Madrid and Manchester City due to a painful abdominal injury.

However, the Portugal international has not been definitively ruled out for the upcoming midweek fixture.

Alisson Becker
