Liverpool team news

Liverpool manager Arne Slot faces a potential setback as midfielder Alexis Mac Allister is a doubt after picking up a knock in the recent clash against Burnley. With Curtis Jones also sidelined, the Reds’ midfield options are limited. On a positive note, the anticipated return of Jeremie Frimpong at right-back could provide flexibility, allowing Dominik Szoboszlai to operate in his preferred central midfield role, bolstering Liverpool’s creativity and balance.

Atletico Madrid team news

Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone faces multiple injury concerns ahead of the trip to Anfield. Julian Alvarez was forced off with a knee injury in their recent La Liga clash, while David Hancko and Robin Le Normand left the field with ankle and back issues, respectively. Additionally, goalscorer Gonzalez was substituted due to cramp. These absences could affect Atletico’s defensive and attacking balance as they prepare for a challenging encounter against Liverpool.
