Liverpool XI vs Brighton: Team News, Predicted Lineup, and Injury Update for Carabao Cup

 

Arne Slot has provided an update on Liverpool’s injury situation ahead of their Carabao Cup match against Brighton on Wednesday.

 

The Liverpool manager indicated that Conor Bradley may be available for the trip to the south coast, but he anticipates being without Federico Chiesa, Diogo Jota, Harvey Elliott, and Alisson Becker, all of whom missed the recent 2-2 draw with Arsenal.

 

“Conor is back in training with us, so he could be included in the squad tomorrow,” he stated on Tuesday.

 

“Jota will not be available, nor will Elliott or Alisson.

 

“I do not expect Federico to be part of the squad tomorrow.

 

“It’s challenging to predict when he will be fit; his condition fluctuates. He trains for a few days and then has to sit out again.

 

“I prefer not to assign a specific timeline. Our priority is to ensure he returns in optimal condition, without any pressure.”

 

Slot also mentioned that due to the extent of the injury issues, he lacks the depth to implement significant changes to his lineup.

 

“I don’t believe it’s feasible to replicate what we did against West Ham; we simply don’t have enough fit players to make wholesale changes.

 

“Yesterday was primarily a recovery day for the squad. Today, we will assess their conditions and decide on the starting lineup.”

 

Liverpool’s predicted XI: Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Quansah, Tsimikas; Endo, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Nunez

 

Doubts: Chiesa, Bradley

 

Injured: Alisson, Jota, Elliott

 

Match Time and Date: 7:30 PM GMT on Wednesday, October 30, 2024.
