Liverpool injury, suspension news and return dates for Galatasaray clash: Isak, Endo, Bradley, Leoni latest

Liverpool will be looking to overturn a one-goal first-leg deficit when they play host to Galatasaray at Anfield in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday night.

The Merseysiders fell to a narrow 1-0 defeat in Istanbul last week and they know that anything but a victory on home soil will see the six-time European champions eliminated from the competition.

Arne Slot’s side enter this contest on the back of being held to a 1-1 draw by relegation-threatened Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday, another setback in their pursuit of a top-four finish.

Ahead of their return to Champions League action, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool’s latest injury and suspension news for the clash against their Turkish opponents.
