The latest Liverpool injury news ahead of key games against Sparta Prague and Manchester City. Liverpool have so far emerged unscathed from the past few weeks’ worth of matches despite a long and daunting injury list – but this week they face two fresh challenges when they take on Sparta Prague in the last 16 of the Europa League before a crucial Premier League showdown against title rivals Manchester City. So what kind of shape will the squad be in for these two vital games? Important players including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota and Alisson have been absent for recent games…
The 42-year-old former midfield playmaker has shot to the top of the wish lists of Liverpool and Bayern, as both clubs seek new managers this summer. While the man himself has remained coy on his future, the two clubs are reported to have already made their first moves in the race to lure Alonso away from Leverkusen at the end of the season. The Spaniard has drawn acclaim for his work at Leverkusen, where his unbeaten side lead the Bundesliga by ten points after 24 games of 2023/24. Jurgen Klopp also recently named Alonso as a standout coach of the…
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry says he is a huge admirer of the fact that Liverpool forward Mo Salah also creates goals for his teammates. When assessing Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins’s excellent goal record, he also pointed out that a striker should look to contribute assists as well, much like Salah has done consistently over the years: “This is something I always mention about players. Can you also assist? We all know that Ollie Watkins can score. We all know Mo Salah can score. It’s not the first time Mo Salah is on seven, eight or nine assists.” “But can you…
Chelsea and Liverpool are reportedly among the clubs monitoring Napoli’s high-flying winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Azzurri president Aurelio De Laurentiis only has a few months to secure the Georgian’s future ahead of the summer transfer window, when Victor Osimhen is also expected to depart. De Laurentiis is believed to be intent on ensuring Napoli don’t lose both of their star performers in the same window. Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia are leading the club’s scoring charts with 20 Serie A goals between them. And while Osimhen’s exit is almost a certainty, Kvaratskhelia could yet stay put for another year. According to journalist Ciro…
Jeff Stelling and Ally McCoist disagreed over whether Mohamed Salah would make a Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal combined XI – with Stelling insisting he accepts he’d get a “battering” from Reds supporters over his decision. Stelling and McCoist were drafting a combined ‘Premier League Title Race XI’ and disagreed over who should fill the position on the right side of attack, Salah or Bukayo Saka. The 31-year-old Egyptian has tallied the most goals and assists for Liverpool in the Premier League this season, with the Reds sitting one and two points ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal respectively. In…
The game was heading for a 0-0 draw before Darwin popped up in the 99th minute to give the Reds all three points as they seek to reclaim the Premier League title from Manchester City. Nunez has now scored 14 goals in all competitions this season for Jurgen Klopp’s side, including one in each of his last three league games. Signed for a fee of up to £85m with add-ons in the summer of 2022 from Benfica, the Uruguay international endured a rocky start to life at Anfield, being red carded early in his Reds career for violent conduct against…
The Sporting CP coach is also liked by Liverpool but the Catalans are understood to be closer to the coach than any of their major European rivals, including the Reds, according to a fresh report from the Independent. Amorim is likely to leave his current side this summer, as well as Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso. After Xavi announced that he would be stepping down from his role at Barcelona. This has set up an interesting situation in which they, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich will all be looking for new coaches, with only a few in demand for the top positions…
All eyes will be on Anfield on Sunday afternoon when Liverpool and Manchester City resume rivalries in what could be a crunch clash in the Premier League title race. The Reds will go into the match a point clear of City after Darwin Núñez’s dramatic 99th winner against Nottingham Forest last weekend. City followed that up by coming from behind to beat Manchester United at the Etihad to fuel the excitement ahead of the current top two facing off. But there is now a real chance that it will be Arsenal leading the way when play gets underway on Sunday.…
That is according to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, who reports that if Bayern appoint a manager who uses a back three, then Frimpong will be a top target for the right-wing back role at the Allianz Arena. The 23-year-old has a release clause in his current Leverkusen contract with around €40m-€45m, which will be a bargain for the Dutch star given his performances this season. Frimpong has been one of the best full-backs in Europe and has put up incredible numbers. Across the 30 matches he has played, the Leverkusen star has scored 10 goals and assisted a further 10.…
If you can sift your way through the endless stream of over-the-top reaction to Liverpool’s winner against Nottingham Forest, chances are the next story you’ll find is something about Phil Foden. The Manchester City star is certainly the flavor of the month right now. And, in fairness, with good reason. The 23-year-old is in the form of his life right now, and he showed that in the Manchester derby on Sunday as he fired City to victory to victory with two goals. Foden has 18 goals — already a personal best — and 10 assists so far this season, and…
