Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Fulham

Liverpool injury, suspension list vs. Fulham

Liverpool will endeavour to stretch their Premier League winning streak to five matches when they welcome Fulham to Anfield for Wednesday's top-flight contest.

The Reds came up trumps in a seven-goal spectacular with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, as Diogo Jota struck an injury-time winner in a 4-3 triumph.

Jurgen Klopp's in-form troops have subsequently risen up to fifth in the rankings, albeit still seven points behind Manchester United having played a game more.

Not including Klopp, who appeared to pull his hamstring in Sunday's wild celebrations, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with the Cottagers, who fell to a 2-1 loss to Manchester City at the weekend.


Diogo Jota

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Knock Possible return date: May 3 (vs. Fulham)

Diogo Jota shook off a back concern to come off the bench to good effect against Spurs, but Klopp has revealed that the Portuguese attacker picked up another knock in the weekend's win, and his chances of turning out this week are slim.


Thiago Alcantara

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Unknown Possible return date: May 3 (vs. Fulham)

Thiago Alcantara, who has lost his spot in the XI to Curtis Jones recently, was absent from the matchday squad against Tottenham and was seen limping towards the dugout at Anfield. Klopp did not offer an update on Thiago's condition after the game, but the Spaniard has seemingly emerged as a doubt for Wednesday.


Roberto Firmino

Status: Out Type of injury: Muscle Possible return date: May 6 (vs. Brentford)

Roberto Firmino has now missed Liverpool's last three games with a muscular problem, and despite initial optimism that he would not be out for any longer, the Brazilian forward is not expected to recover in time for the visit of Fulham.


Calvin Ramsay

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

Teenage defender Calvin Ramsay underwent campaign-ending knee surgery in January and is now focusing on a return for the pre-season period.


Stefan Bajcetic

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

Likewise, up-and-coming midfielder Stefan Bajcetic is sidelined with a serious adductor injury, which cruelly cut his breakthrough year short before March's international fixtures.


Naby Keita

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Muscle Possible return date: May 3 (vs. Fulham)

Prior to the win over Spurs, Klopp expressed hope that Naby Keita would be able to take part in training as he steps up his recovery from a muscular problem, but he is only thought to have a slim chance of taking part in midweek.


LIVERPOOL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Liverpool have no players suspended for this match.
