Liverpool Injury Update Ahead of Union Saint-Gilloise Match:
Cody Gakpo: Gakpo sustained an injury in the game against Tottenham, and the extent of the issue has not been fully clarified. Dutch reporter Rik Elfrink suggests that he could be sidelined for “several weeks.”
Thiago Alcântara: Thiago is still dealing with a hip injury that he picked up at the end of the previous season. Jürgen Klopp has been vague about his return timeline, and it remains uncertain when he will be available for action.
Stefan Bajčetić: The young talent Stefan Bajčetić has been out for around five months, and Liverpool is taking a cautious approach to his reintegration into the team. He recently encountered a minor issue as part of his comeback plan, and the club is being careful not to rush him back into playing.
Despite these injury concerns, Liverpool will field a strong team for their Europa League match against Union Saint-Gilloise, with the availability of Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota, who are set to miss the Premier League trip to Brighton due to suspensions. Winning this match is crucial for Liverpool’s prospects of topping the group and avoiding the last-32 stage in the competition.
