‘I can’t believe my eyes’, ‘tears’: Some Liverpool fans erupt over ‘really great’ news
A number of Liverpool fans have welcomed the latest injury update from Kirkby.
Jurgen Klopp has spoken about the fitness of five Reds players ahead of their Carabao Cup clash on Wednesday.
James Milner and Naby Keita were both forced off with injuries during Sunday’s 5-0 win at Manchester United.
Although Milner is expected to be out until the international break, Keita’s issue doesn’t look bad, according to Pep Lijnders.
Meanwhile, Fabinho missed the trip to Old Trafford with a knee issue, but the Liverpool assistant manager reckons he’ll be back for Saturday.
Thiago Alcantara is nearing the completion of his rehabilitation from a calf complaint, while Caoimhin Kelleher had a “little setback”.
Speaking to the Liverpool media team, Lijnders : [Milner’s injury] will be until the international break for sure, so it’s a long one. But we will need him in the coming period.
“Naby has a bruise in this moment, we assess it day by day. It’s looking good, so that’s good.
“Fabinho will not be ready for tomorrow’s game, we will assess him day by day still. He can make the game on Saturday hopefully.
“Then we have Thiago as well, who is closer to team training than ever. He will be later in the week with the team training.
“Probably Brighton comes too early but it’s good that he is back, especially in the situation we are in.”
On the availability of Kelleher, who was absent against United due to illness, Lijnders said: “Not sure, he trained with the team but it seems he had a little setback so he probably will not be involved.”
Though Milner’s absence will be a blow, it looks as though the other players will be back soon enough.
And some Liverpool fans were overall pleased by the latest update:
A positive update for once?
