Liverpool team news vs. Burnley – Injuries and available squad

Another two players picked up injuries against Arsenal, with one serious and the other a doubt for Liverpool’s match against Burnley.

Liverpool’s squad list is becoming shorter and an extremely intense game against Arsenal will have tired the players further. That said, the Reds should still be capable of beating Burnley on Boxing Day.

With injuries increasing by the game, we’ve got you covered so you know who is and isn’t available for Liverpool.

Here is who will miss out for Liverpool vs. Burnley and Klopp’s updates:

Diaz (knee) – doubt – “Physios were not too concerned”

Jota (hamstring) – unavailable – “He didn’t train with the team” before Sunday

Mac Allister (knee) – unavailable

Tsimikas (collar bone) – unavailable

Joel Matip (ACL) – unavailable

Thiago (hip) – unavailable

Stefan Bajcetic (calf) – unavailable

Andy Robertson (shoulder) – unavailable

Ben Doak (MCL) – unavailable

Kostas Tsimikas became the latest casualty at Anfield, as he broke his collar bone against Arsenal when pushed into Jurgen Klopp by Bukayo Saka.

An awkward landing means he could be facing around two months on the sidelines so, with Andy Robertson also still out, Joe Gomez will fill in at left-back.

Liverpool’s other worry from the night was Luis Diaz. The Colombian went off after a clash of knees and was later seen with ice on his left leg.

Thankfully, Klopp said after the game: “Physios were not too concerned, but you never know.

“We play again in three days, and you never know how quick the turnaround is. We will see.”

Another winger, Diogo Jota, is less likely to play than Diaz due to his hamstring injury. Klopp told reporters: “I don’t want to rule out anybody now, we will see.

“He didn’t train with the team yet, we have only one proper session so it will be a surprise. But maybe I will get a surprise. I don’t know.

“He didn’t train with the team but the session I saw was really intense, but I didn’t ask who will be available yet and the medical department will tell me now or [Sunday].”

Alexis Mac Allister isn’t set to return until 2024, and neither is Robertson. Thiago and Stefan Bajcetic remain out but are on their way to a return, finally.

Ben Doak and Joel Matip are both going to be sidelined for another few months at the least.

* Doubtful

Burnley, Burnley vs Liverpool, Injuries

Burnley boss Kompany was boosted by the return of left-back Charlie Taylor for the beating of Fulham, but doubts persist over all of Johann Berg Gudmundsson (unspecified), Jack Cork (calf) and Aaron Ramsey (knee), who will require late fitness tests.

Luca Koleosho is a definite absentee as he works his way back from knee surgery, but Odobert’s man-of-the-match display at Craven Cottage suggests that Kompany will be in safe hands while the former spends months in the treatment room.

Jacob Bruun Larsen only lasted until half time against Fulham, being replaced by Mike Tresor for the second half in a tactical change, and Kompany should certainly consider such a switch from the first whistle on Boxing Day.

The Clarets did not pick up any fresh concerns over the weekend, which is more than can be said for Liverpool, who witnessed Kostas Tsimikas wipe out Jurgen Klopp as he was inadvertently shoved into the German’s path after losing a touchline tussle with Bukayo Saka.

Klopp was unharmed in the incident, but he confirmed after the game that Tsimikas sustained a broken collarbone and would be out for a lengthy period of time, leaving the Reds without a recognised senior left-back as Andrew Robertson also recovers from a shoulder operation.

With Tsimikas and Robertson unavailable, Joe Gomez ought to hold the fort at left-back for the time being, while Luis Diaz also took a blow to the knee in the draw with Arsenal but should be passed fit to make the squad on Boxing Day.

However, all of Joel Matip (knee), Ben Doak (knee), Alexis Mac Allister (knee), Diogo Jota (muscle), Stefan Bajcetic (calf) and Thiago Alcantara (hip) are out of contention and will not return until various points in 2024.

Burnley possible starting lineup:
Trafford; Vitinho, O’Shea, Beyer, Taylor; Tresor, Berge, Brownhill, Odobert; Foster, Amdouni

Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Gomez; Szoboszlai, Endo, Gravenberch; Salah, Gakpo, Nunez

Preview: Burnley vs. Liverpool – prediction, team news, lineups
We say: Burnley 0-2 Liverpool
Each of Liverpool’s last six Premier League Boxing Day fixtures has seen the Reds emerge triumphant, and it should be a case of seventh heaven for Klopp’s side at Turf Moor, in spite of Burnley’s recent morale-boosting away success.

Kompany’s men would do well to target the visitors’ depleted left-hand side, and Klopp’s team may not be at their scintillating best after expending their energy reserves against Arsenal, but they should have enough to temporarily rise to top spot.
