Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Real Madrid

Liverpool injury, suspension list vs. Real Madrid

Liverpool will go in search of their seventh European Cup/Champions League crown when they meet Real Madrid in Saturday's final at the Stade de France.

Jurgen Klopp has already led his side to EFL Cup and FA Cup glory this term, but the Reds fell just short to Manchester City in the Premier League.

Inter Milan, Benfica and Villarreal have all been sent packing by the Reds in the 2021-22 Champions League, and revenge is on the minds of the Merseyside crop following their 3-1 loss to Real in 2018.

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


Fabinho

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: May 28 (vs. vs. Real Madrid)

Fabinho missed the end of the domestic season with the hamstring injury he picked up against Aston Villa, but the Brazilian is now back in full training and should be fine for Saturday.


Joe Gomez

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Ankle Possible return date: May 28 (vs. vs. Real Madrid)

Joe Gomez went off with an ankle injury in the win over Southampton earlier this month, but he did not sustain any significant damage and will hope to come into contention for the final.


Thiago Alcantara

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Achilles Possible return date: May 28 (vs. vs. Real Madrid)

Thiago Alcantara injured his Achilles in the first half of Sunday's win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Klopp was immediately pessimistic about his chances of featuring in the final. Scans have not revealed a serious injury, though, and the Reds boss has since changed his tune, which could signal a surprise start for the Spaniard.


Divock Origi

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

The departing Divock Origi picked up a muscular injury in training before the win over Wolves, and the issue will keep him out of the final, meaning that he has played his final game for the club.


LIVERPOOL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Liverpool have no players suspended for the final.
