Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Porto

Liverpool injury, suspension list vs. Porto

Having already booked their place in the last 16, Liverpool resume Champions League action with a home clash against Porto in Group B on Wednesday.

The Reds qualified for the next stage after downing Atletico Madrid 2-0 last time out and previously put five goals past Porto away from home in a 5-1 drubbing.

Jurgen Klopp's men enter the contest on the back of an impressive 4-0 win over Arsenal, but the Anfield infirmary remains well-occupied.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.


James Milner

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: November 24 (vs. Porto)

James Milner's hamstring problem kept him out of the win over Arsenal, but there is a slight chance that the midfielder could feature in midweek if he makes a swift return to team training.


Andy Robertson

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Thigh Possible return date: November 24 (vs. Porto)

Andy Robertson picked up a thigh injury representing Scotland earlier this month and was not fit to face Arsenal, but he is thought to have a strong chance of being involved in midweek.


Naby Keita

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: November 24 (vs. Porto)

The luckless Naby Keita continues to nurse a hamstring injury but is expected to return to team training before the Porto game, so he could make the cut.


Harvey Elliott

Harvey Elliott is stepping up his recovery from a serious ankle problem after returning to outdoor running, but the 18-year-old will not be ready for action on the pitch before the spring.


Roberto Firmino

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

Roberto Firmino picked up a serious hamstring injury during the Anfield win over Atletico and is expected to remain sidelined for another few weeks.


Curtis Jones

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

Curtis Jones's freak eye injury is proving more problematic than initially feared, and the midfielder will not return for "a number of weeks", according to Klopp.


Joe Gomez

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

Klopp has revealed that Joe Gomez is "in a good way" as he bids to recover from a calf problem, but the Porto game will come too soon for him.

Diogo Jota took a blow to the knee during a challenge with Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale at the weekend, and Liverpool are sweating over his fitness for this encounter.


Divock Origi

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Illness Possible return date: November 24 (vs. Porto)

Divock Origi was not in the matchday squad to face Arsenal due to a bout of illness, and it remains to be seen if the Belgian will be cleared to play in midweek.


Neco Williams

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Muscle Possible return date: November 24 (vs. Porto)

Neco Williams has been dealing with muscle tightness in recent days, but the right-back is reportedly expected to be fine for this contest.
