EPL: More Players Could Miss Liverpool Vs Man City Showdown

Liverpool could be without their first two right-back options for the visit of Manchester City after suffering two injury blows against Real Madrid on Wednesday.

On Sunday, they welcome a City side in disarray after collapsing from 3-0 up against Feyenoord to draw 3-3 on Tuesday and extend the winless run to six games.

City is out of form and still suffering from plenty of injuries. Rodri and Oscar Bobb are out, as is Mateo Kovacic. John Stones was substituted at halftime vs. Tottenham last weekend and missed the Feyenoord draw completely to add to the injury concerns.

Jeremy Doku is back in training; however, he was not in the squad in the Champions League and will be doubtful to feature at Anfield.

Liverpool also looks set to be without some key players—goalkeeper Alisson is still not back, while Diogo Jota, Federico Chiesa, and Kostas Tsimikas were missing against Real Madrid.

And as the Kop celebrated a statement win on Wednesday, Liverpool were dealt two further injury blows: first, back-up right-back Connor Bradley limped off with a muscular injury after a superb performance to nullify Kylian Mbappe, before influential centre-back Ibrahima Konate received treatment at full time.

On the pair, Liverpool boss Arne Slot said: “I know where they have pain, but how bad or how good it is difficult to judge so close after the game.

“This happens through a season. I am really hoping both of them are available to play because we want them all available, but if not, someone else has to step up, and until now this season, everybody that I [have] selected to start has shown up.
