Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Rangers

Liverpool will be aiming to move one step closer to securing their progression to the Champions League knockout stages when they face Rangers at Ibrox on Wednesday.

Depending on how Group A leaders Napoli fare against Ajax, Jurgen Klopp's side may have the opportunity to move six points clear of the Eredivisie champions ahead of their trip to Amsterdam in two weeks' time.

Rangers, meanwhile, are yet to gain a single point in their first Champions League group-stage campaign in 12 years, and they must beat Liverpool on Wednesday in order to remain in the competition.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their contest with Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side.

Luis Diaz

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

Luis Diaz was pictured leaving the Emirates Stadium on crutches - and with a knee brace - following a collision with Arsenal's Thomas Partey during the first half of Liverpool's 3-2 defeat on Sunday.

The extent of the knee injury remains unknown at this stage, but Klopp admitted that "it does not look good," and the Colombia winger is likely to face a race against time to be involved again before next month's World Cup begins.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Ankle Possible return date: October 16 (vs. Manchester City)

Like Diaz, Trent Alexander-Arnold was injured during the first half against Arsenal, with Gabriel Martinelli unintentionally following through onto the England defender's ankle during a tackle.

Alexander-Arnold managed to play through the pain until being substituted at half time, but Klopp revealed that his ankle was "twisted," suggesting that he will not be involved against Rangers on Wednesday.

Andrew Robertson

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Knee Possible return date: October 16 (vs. Manchester City)

Andrew Robertson has missed Liverpool's last four matches in all competitions since he picked up a knee injury during the 4-1 defeat against Napoli in the Champions League in early September.

Klopp has confirmed that the Scotsman returned to the training pitch last week, but he was not a part of the travelling squad to North London to face Arsenal, meaning that he may be saved for Sunday's huge clash against Man City.

Arthur Melo

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

Summer signing Arthur Melo suffered a muscle injury in the buildup to last Tuesday's Champions League win over Rangers, and the Brazil international is unlikely to return until the New Year having undergone surgery at the weekend.

Naby Keita

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

Naby Keita is yet to feature for Liverpool this season due to a thigh injury, and he was not included in the Reds' Champions League squad as a result.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

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

Like Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is also yet to play for the Reds this term, and was not named in his team's Champions League squad either.

Curtis Jones

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Calf Possible return date: October 12 (vs. Rangers)

Curtis Jones has been sidelined since he injured his calf in the Community Shield win over Manchester City back in July, but Klopp has hinted that the midfielder could feature in the matchday squad in the near future.

Kaide Gordon

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

Eighteen-year-old Kaide Gordon has been sidelined since February with a number of different injuries, the latest of which being a pelvic problem. There is currently no timescale on the attacker's return.
