Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Nottingham Forest

Liverpool will aim to extend their winning run in the Premier League to three games when they take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday lunchtime.

The Reds followed up their victory over Manchester City with a 1-0 success over West Ham United on Wednesday, with Darwin Nunez heading home the game's only goal.

Jurgen Klopp's side have now risen to seventh in the table after their midweek triumph, two points behind Newcastle United with a game in hand and four adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea.

Status: Out Type of injury: Muscle Possible return date: October 26 (vs. Ajax)

Klopp has ruled Ibrahima Konate out for 10 days after the centre-back sustained a new muscular injury prior to the win over Man City, so a return could be pencilled in for next week's Champions League showdown with Ajax.

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: October 22 (vs. Nottingham Forest)

Darwin Nunez scored his first Anfield goal in the win over West Ham, but he lasted less than an hour due to hamstring tightness. The striker has undergone treatment, but Klopp admitted in his pre-game press conference that he is still uncertain for the contest.

Liverpool have no players suspended for this match.
