Liverpool was dealt a blow over the international break when Adam Lallana was forced to leave England’s friendly with Spain with a groin injury. Lallana missed some time earlier this season with the same injury, but early reports seem to indicate this won’t be a long-term problem for the in-form midfielder.
Liverpool is fairly healthy otherwise. Really this injury report article is all about Adam Lallana who may be forced to miss the clash against his former team.
Danny Ings remains out for the year with a knee injury, and Sheyi Ojo remains sidelined with a back injury.
Joe Gomez continues to progress from his injuries and is close to being fit enough to earn a spot on the team.
