Liverpool travel to Austria to face LASK in the Champions League without Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo.
Liverpool travel to Austria to face LASK in the Champions League on Wednesday evening, seeking to make it two wins from two in the league phase after their 2-1 comeback victory over Atletico Madrid last month.
Manager Andoni Iraola will be without Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo, who all suffered injuries during the international break. Szoboszlai was ruled out with a tight hamstring, whilst Isak and Gakpo are dealing with thigh and ankle problems respectively. All three players flew out to Linz without the squad on Tuesday.
Iraola said the injuries are being assessed on a day-to-day basis. 'They are not bad but it's difficult to tell right now,' he said on Tuesday. 'We are taking it day to day. Really the three of them, I don't know if it's going to be Brentford or Villarreal.' The players could potentially return for the visit to Brentford at the weekend or the subsequent Champions League match against Villarreal.
With Liverpool playing four games in ten days, Iraola indicated he may rotate the squad for the LASK match to maintain freshness. Bradley Barcola is expected to start despite recently arriving at the club.
