England's "Liverpool" club will face serious personnel problems in the UEFA Champions League match against "Qarabag".
Idman.Biz reports that, according to "The Standard", "Liverpool" has suffered two more blows after a 2:3 defeat to "Bournemouth" in the Premier League. In that match, central defender Joe Gomez was injured after colliding with goalkeeper Alisson and was forced to leave the field.
Head coach Arne Slot could not give an exact prognosis regarding 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 that he couldn't continue. It is difficult to say whether he will return to training in two or three days."
Against this background of injury, "Liverpool" has only one main player left in central defense - 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 has been given permission to spend time with his family.
Other problems of the team 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 have surgery and begin the recovery process.
Federico Chiesa's condition is also uncertain. The Italian striker has not participated in recent matches, and although his condition was assessed as "50/50" before the match with "Bournemouth", he was not included in the final squad. He is expected to appear in the match against "Qarabag".
In addition, summer transfer Alexander Isak is out of action for a long time due to injury. The Swedish striker broke his leg in the match 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 the "Liverpool" 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.
