England's Liverpool will face serious squad problems in the UEFA Champions League match against Qarabag.
Idman.Biz reports that, according to information published by The Standard, Liverpool suffered two more blows after the 2:3 defeat to Bournemouth in the Premier League. In that game, centre-back Joe Gomez was injured after a collision with goalkeeper Alisson and was forced to leave the field.
Head coach Arne Slot was unable to give an accurate prognosis about the player's condition after the match:
"Joe took a blow after colliding with Alisson, he had a problem with his knee. Bone hit bone and it was clear he couldn't continue. It's hard to say whether he'll be back in training in two or three days."
Against the background of this injury, Liverpool have only one main player left in the centre of defence - team captain Virgil van Dijk. Ibrahima Konate is out of the team not due to injury, but due to the death of his father. Slot said that the French defender was given permission to spend time with his family.
The team's other problems are also concentrated in the defense line. Right-back Conor Bradley suffered a serious knee injury and will miss the rest of the season. He will undergo surgery and begin the recovery process.
Federico Chiesa's situation is also uncertain. The Italian striker has not participated in recent games and although his condition was assessed as "50/50" before the match with Bournemouth, he was not included in the final squad. He is likely to appear in the game against Qarabag.
In addition, summer transfer Alexander Isak is out for a long time due to injury. The Swedish striker broke his leg in the game against Tottenham and underwent surgery. It is reported that he will be away from the green fields for several months.
Another new transfer, Giovanni Leoni, will not be able to wear Liverpool's uniform this season because he tore his knee ligaments at the beginning of the season.
It should be noted that the UEFA Champions League match "Liverpool" - "Qarabag" will be held on January 28 at 23:59.
