Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Everton

Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's FA Cup clash with Everton.

Liverpool will look to kick off their FA Cup campaign in rampant fashion when they host Everton in the third round at Anfield on Sunday.

Despite encountering considerable success in the league and in Europe, Jurgen Klopp has never gone past the fourth round of this competition.

Everton, meanwhile, are enjoying a bounce in form following the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti last month and will enter this clash with a fearless mindset.

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

Possible return date: Unknown

Lovren has been sidelined for almost a month with another muscle problem in his thigh, with Klopp noting that there was no timescale on the defender's return.


Fabinho
