The 32-year-old has been ruled out of the remainder of the season, as a result, the Merseyside club are now looking to land Maxence Lacroix at the club in the winter according to a report by the Mirror. Matip was subbed off in their 4-3 win over Fulham last Sunday and scans have confirmed that the 32-year-old has ruptured his ACL. His season is over and with Matip no longer, the Merseyside club has no other option than to enter the market for a new defender. Virgil van Dijk is still the mainstay of their team and Ibrahima Konate will now…
Jurgen Klopp said Liverpool will “show their class” over Joel Matip’s ACL injury, and hinted he may not have played his last game for the club. Matip was taken off 20 minutes from the end of the Reds’ barnstorming 4-3 win over Fulham on Sunday, with scans later showing he had ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament. The 32-year-old is unlikely to recover in time to play any further part in Liverpool’s season and is out of contract at the end of June, meaning he will not play for the club again unless he signs a new deal. Klopp said Liverpool…
Joel Matip might have played his last game for Liverpool after it was confirmed the defender ruptured his ACL in the Reds’ 4-3 victory over Fulham on Sunday. The Cameroonian was forced off in the 69th minute against the Cottagers after injuring himself when clearing the ball. Jurgen Klopp admitted at the time that he was fearing the worst, with scan results confirming on Wednesday that that defender has suffered a serious knee injury. Expected to be out until at least the end of the season as a result, the 32-year-old could well have played his last game for the…
Jurgen Klopp has hinted at a major boost for Liverpool when they head to Crystal Palace this weekend after Alisson Becker returned to training. The Brazilian goalkeeper has missed the last three games with a muscle injury but rejoined the squad on Thursday before the trip to Selhurst Park. Alisson looks good,” manager Klopp said on Friday. “I don’t know if good enough for tomorrow, I’ll have to check that with the medical department and with Ali.” Joel Matip is absent for Liverpool after suffering a serious knee injury which could rule him out for the rest of the season. Alexis Mac Allister also…
The Reds kept things ticking along nicely with a win over Sheffield United, keeping them within two points of Arsenal at the top of the table. A reunion with former boss Roy Hodgson stands in the way of heading into the Man United clash with three successive wins, and we can expect a number of changes at Selhurst Park for this one. Let’s take a look at the lineup options for the Liverpool boss this weekend. Here’s what the boss told us as he previewed the clash The manager is without at least six key senior figures in his squad as things…
In news that will be music to your ears, Alisson has provided us with a tease which suggests we could see him back in action sooner rather than later. The Brazilian has been out of action since picking up a hamstring problem towards the end of last month’s 1-1 draw at Man City, with many hoping he would recover in time to face the other half of Manchester at Anfield. A somewhat cryptic post on his Instagram story might indicate that we will get our wish, with the No. 1 posting a picture with his gloves to insinuate that he is back in training with…
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Jurgen Klopp’s latest Liverpool press conference. The Reds are back in Premier League action in the early Saturday kick-off at Crystal Palace and have the chance to move top of the table – temporarily at least. Arsenal will take on Aston Villa in evening game and would return to the summit. Liverpool will be without defender Joel Matip, who has ruptured his ACL and is expected to miss the rest of the season through injury. As a result, Ibrahima Konate is expected to keep his place in the heart of defence alongside…
Liverpool’s No. 1 has missed the last three games, after picking up an injury in the closing stages of the 1-1 draw with Man City last month. Caoimhin Kelleher has filled in admirably in his stead, keeping two clean sheets, including the first away shutout in this season’s Premier League last time out at Sheffield United. But Alisson‘s spell out is not expected to last for much longer, with the Brazilian having been pencilled in for a return against Man United on December 17. That appears to be on track, with the goalkeeper dropping a major hint on his Instagram story on Thursday: Sharing a photo of…
Alisson raised hopes among supporters on Thursday as he shared a photo of his gloves from the AXA Training Centre, having missed the last three games due to injury. The Brazilian has always been slated for a return from his hamstring problem when Man United arrive at Anfield on December 17, but he could now make an earlier comeback. “Alisson looks good,” Klopp told reporters on Friday. “I don’t know if good enough for tomorrow, I have to check with the coaches, the medical department – and with Ali, of course.” The manager did confirm that his No. 1 had “trained normal” on…
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker is back in training and could play against Crystal Palace on Saturday, though the news was less good for Alexis Mac Allister, who was in the wars during the 2-0 win over Sheffield United midweek. Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp has confirmed that Alisson could be back in goal this weekend after recovering from injury quicker than anticipated. But Mac Allister is likely to miss the trip to Selhurst Park. Klopp was complimentary about Roy Hodgson ahead of the game and also discussed the importance of Virgil van Dijk, who he labeled the ‘best defender in the…
