Obviously an Infidel.
Obviously an Infidel
It's because it was rescheduled from a Saturday 3pm kick off.
If Salah & Nunez are benched as a precaution, does Elliot get the third forward start? Or do we promote Koumas / Gordon from the academy?
Given the Jota news, I kinda expect Klopp to be prudent to avoid risking either being out for longer than one game. There is even a bold idea of putting Bradley at RW and Gomez RB, alongside Gakpo & Diaz.

It'll be Jayden Danns
Definitely Elliott.
Elliott has never done anything at RW. He's best against tired legs when we have some control of the middle and he gets time and space on the ball. He does not have the attributes to do much right in our system. I'd rather see Gomez and Bradley pairing down the right if it came to it, although hopefully, we have 3 fit forwards!
Presser didn't confirm anything new we didn't know about this morning, or yesterday, or the day before.
Other than Jota, all pretty vague anyway.....which unsurprisingly usually is the case seeing as Klopp can only go by the advice of our medical dept' which leaves him restricted to saying what he normally does "was/wasn't in training, getting closer, still needs time" etc etc.

For the stronger amongst us - press conference link
Klopp exact words were: “with Diogo it will, obviously, take around a month” (listen at around 2:50 in the video). Which is actually a lot better than feared - not that this means much since in the same sentence Klopp refused to put any specific timescale saying that every athlete’s body responds differently etc.
It does look like Curtis’s injury is pretty serious, unfortunately and, like Jota, he’s not a quick healer. We need Gravvy to step up.

We will be taking on City on March 10th without both of them, possibly also Ali. Dom & Trent 'on the way back' so hopefully ready by then.
No specific mention of possible injuries to Mo & Nunez, just saying that others were being assessed day by day on their 'various muscle injures'
It spread to his leg
I don’t blame have any issues with our aquad size and Jan transfer policy, but are there things medical team could do better? Not finger pointing at them but does seem an awful lot of injuries. Some of them are with usual suspects such as Matip, Jota, Thiago etc though.

Ok well in that case we're fucked.
I can see Elliott playing on the right side of attack tonight:
------------------Kelleher-------------
Gomez--Quansah---VVD----Robbo
----------------Endo------------------
-----Macca-----------Gravenberch--
--Elliott--------Gapko--------Diaz---
Nunez and Salah are imperative to us for the final, one of them could start but IMO it would be a risk. Yet we obviously need to win! Konate isn't worth losing and I reckon Bradley will start the final at right back, but it's also harsh dropping Gomez for the final, so we'll see what happens.

Has anyone considered that both Gomez and Bradders can start on the right?
Because starting Elliott, who lets be honest, hasn't been that impressive on the right wing, along with Macca, Endo and Gravy means that we're starting all of our remaining "senior" midfielders.
Bradley can also play on the right wing and we've witnessed how much of a threat he can be in attack.
