Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Napoli

Liverpool injury, suspension list vs. Napoli

Liverpool have the chance to move into top spot in Group E when they meet Napoli at Anfield in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Jurgen Klopp's men head into the game as considerable favourites due to their imperious home record and a recent slump in form from the Italian side.

However, the Reds will be conscious of the fact that Napoli are the only team to beat them this season, recording a 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture in September.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of this game.


Xherdan Shaqiri

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Calf Possible return date: November 27 (vs. Napoli)

The Switzerland international returned to training last week following a calf injury, with Klopp deciding against using him at Selhurst Park, but is expected to come back for the game on Wednesday.


Joel Matip

Status: Out Type of injury: Knee Possible return date: Unknown

Matip has been sidelined with a knee injury since last month and Klopp has made it clear that he does not wish to rush the defender back to action.


Nathaniel Clyne

Status: Out Type of injury: Knee Possible return date: Unknown

The Englishman is Liverpool's only long-term absentee due to a knee ligament injury sustained over pre-season. There remains no timescale regarding when he could return.


LIVERPOOL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Liverpool have no players suspended for this match.
