Liverpool will get a big loss from the international break because five of their players might miss the club’s matches. The five Liverpool players are Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Jordan Henderson and Andy Robertson.
Injury is the main factor that makes these five players can not appear during the next few weeks. The problem of fitness is indeed a problem that must be dealt with immediately by coach Juergen Klopp facing the tight match schedule.
In addition to competing in the English League, Liverpool must also appear on the stage of the English League Cup, Champions League, Club World Cup in December 2019.
Mohammad Salah
Reported by Football from the Mirror on Monday (11/18/2019), Mohamed Salah suffered an injury when Liverpool faced Leicester City in Premier League. Even Mohamed Salah could not appear to help Egypt when dealing with Kenya and the Comoros. The former Chelsea player is doubtful when Liverpool visit Crystal Palace on Saturday (11/23/2019).
Virgil Van Dijk
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s mainstay defender, Virgil van Dijk, also left a big question mark. Shown for 90 minutes while defending the Netherlands against Northern Ireland, Van Dijk then missed the match against Estonia for personal reasons. It is unclear whether Van Dijk can be played when Liverpool meet Crystal Palace.
Joe Gomez
Not only Van Dijk, Liverpool’s back line also threatened could not be strengthened by Joe Gomez. Joe Gomez is reportedly having knee problems during training. However, the Reds defender, who played 20 minutes of the 7-0 win over Montenegro on Thursday night at Wembley, has suffered no long-term damage. It means Gomez is almost certain to be ready for selection when the Reds travel to Selhurst Park to face Roy Hodgson’s Eagles.
Andy Robertson
Meanwhile Robertson is said to have suffered an ankle injury so he had to pull over for several weeks. Robertson suffered a swollen ankle in the 3-1 win over City. In fact, he has been struggling with the issue for a number of weeks. Hence, his training programme is carefully managed behind the scenes at Melwood.
Jordan Henderson
The last player who is doubtful to appear is Jordan Henderson. Jordan Henderson is said to have a viral infection that makes him have to pull over, although it is possible to immediately graze again.
