Liverpool could be without three more players as Alexis Mac Allister unwanted problem arises
Liverpool suffered a heartbreaking FA Cup exit on Sunday as they lost a seven-goal thriller in the last minute of extra-time to bitter-rivals Manchester United.
Missing out on a trip to Wembley for a semi-final clash with Coventry City in the process, the loss ended Reds’ hopes of a quadruple and the possibility of Jurgen Klopp’s last match as manager being the FA Cup final.
However, to make matters worse, the German would reveal after the final whistle that his side had suffered three more injuries in the defeat to United as Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo all picked up knocks. The Uruguayan has since withdrawn from international duty.
Liverpool now don’t return to action until March 31, when they host Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League in their first outing after the international break. Klopp had previously confirmed that he hoped that Ibrahima Konate and Curtis Jones would both be available to face the Seagulls after injury.
