Liverpool predicted XI vs Chelsea: Predicted lineup, team news and injury updates
Liverpool will still be without Luis Diaz and Thiago Alcantara when they visit Chelsea in the Premier League on Tuesday.
Liverpool: Team News
Jurgen Klopp is desperately seeking a response after the Reds’ resounding 4-1 defeat to title-chasing Manchester City on Saturday.
The visitors opened the scoring through Mohamed Salah but had no answer as Pep Guardiola’s side turned on the style after the break.
Naby Keita, Stefan Bajcetic and Calvin Ramsay are long-term absentees for the Reds, who face a Chelsea side beginning life after Graham Potter.
Meanwhile, Klopp revealed the trip to Stamford Bridge is also too soon for Diaz and Thiago.
“No, [Diaz is] not available [to face Chelsea]. He is in training, but he is not ready for this game,” the German said during his pre-match press conference.
“As much as we want him to be back, we still have to give him time. Obviously, it was long ago that he had the initial injury but when he came back to training in Dubai, it looked outstanding until he got injured again.
“So, we have to make sure we are patient in that moment. This week, I wouldn’t say Arsenal is completely out of the picture, but it’s rather unlikely. But after that then Luis will be back.
“We had Thiago [on Sunday] in training, in normal team training, which is good as well. But he’s not available for tomorrow of course, so we will see how he reacts. That’s it.”
