Liverpool hit by new injuries to Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo
Liverpool are sweating on the fitness of Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz after all three suffered injuries in Sunday’s 4-3 defeat to Manchester United.
The Reds were knocked out of the FA Cup at the quarter-final stage after a thrilling game that stretched past 120 minutes at Old Trafford. Amad Diallo's extra-time winner won it for Erik ten Hag's men and set up a showdown with Coventry City at Wembley in next month's semi-final.
Klopp went into the game without nine first-team players in Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Ibrahima Konate, Curtis Jones, Diogo Jota, Thiago Alcantara, Stefan Bajcetic and Ben Doak and might now have the trio of attackers on their injured list after a bruising affair against Erik ten Hag’s men.
Ryan Gravenberch was in the match-day squad for Sunday’s game but hasn’t played since the Carabao Cup final win nearly a month ago and the Reds received special dispensation from Egypt to keep Mohamed Salah on Merseyside for the international break after his own recent return from a hamstring problem.
