Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. West Bromwich Albion

Liverpool injury, suspension list vs. West Brom

Liverpool will be aiming to give their top-four hopes another boost when they travel to relegated West Bromwich Albion for Sunday's Premier League encounter.

Jurgen Klopp's side came out on top in a six-goal thriller with Manchester United on Thursday night, as Roberto Firmino bagged a brace while Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah also struck in a 4-2 win.

The Reds have since leapfrogged West Ham United into fifth and sit four points behind Chelsea - who have played a game more - in the final Champions League spot.

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


Jordan Henderson

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

There was initial optimism that Jordan Henderson may have been able to recover from a groin injury in time for this game, but Klopp has now ruled the midfielder out of Liverpool's remaining fixtures this season.


Joel Matip

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

Joel Matip sustained a serious ankle injury back in January and will not return before the campaign concludes.


Joe Gomez

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

Joe Gomez continues to make good progress in his recovery from a serious knee injury, but the defender is not expected to return in time for Liverpool's final few games.


Virgil van Dijk

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

Virgil van Dijk is another centre-back making strides in his recovery from an ACL injury, but the Netherlands international has now ruled himself out of this summer's Euros.


Ozan Kabak

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

Ozan Kabak's muscular problem was serious enough to keep him out of the Southampton and Man United wins, and given the quick turnaround in fixtures, a comeback this weekend is unlikely.


James Milner

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Knock Possible return date: May 16 (vs. West Brom)

Veteran midfielder James Milner was nowhere to be seen against Man United as he nurses a knock, and he is facing a race to be fit in time for Sunday's game.


Naby Keita

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Knock Possible return date: May 16 (vs. West Brom)

The injury-plagued Naby Keita also missed the trip to Old Trafford due to a knock, and it remains to be seen if the luckless midfielder will recover in time to face the Baggies.


Ben Davies

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Muscular Possible return date: May 16 (vs. West Brom)

Ben Davies completes Liverpool's lengthy list of absentees as he attempts to shake off a muscular problem, and the centre-back is fighting to make his debut for the Reds before the season is over.


LIVERPOOL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Liverpool have no players suspended for this game.
