Liverpool prepare to host Manchester United in the Premier League this Sunday, with manager Arne Slot sharing important updates on the Reds’ injury status ahead of the highly anticipated clash.
The Merseyside club has had an outstanding first half of the 2024/25 season, leading both the Premier League and Champions League tables, while also booking a place in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
In stark contrast, Manchester United have struggled, currently sitting 14th in the league with just six wins from 19 matches. Manager Ruben Amorim has even voiced concerns about potential relegation, as his team heads to Anfield on the back of a four-game losing streak.
The challenge for United looks even greater, as Liverpool could see the return of two key players, although Slot confirmed that one major figure remains unavailable.
Injury Updates Ahead of Crucial Clash
On Friday, Slot announced that Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley would resume full training, making them potential options for Sunday’s match. Konate has been integral to Liverpool’s success this season, while Bradley offers crucial depth at right-back behind Trent Alexander-Arnold.
However, Slot also confirmed a setback for Joe Gomez, who is set to miss several weeks after sustaining an injury against West Ham. “Joe’s injury is a real concern… He’s not in a good place and will be out for a few weeks,” Slot told journalist James Pearce.
While Gomez’s absence is a significant loss, Konate’s return is a timely boost as Liverpool aim to continue their strong form and deepen United’s struggles in one of football’s most intense rivalries.
