Liverpool injury news ahead of the Premier League match against Manchester City
The 2022-23 season will be decisive for Liverpool.
The Reds’ problems have been well documented throughout the season, with many puzzled by the drop in form. Jurgen Klopp’s team has fallen far short of their lofty expectations after coming close to an unprecedented quadruple last season.
Liverpool now has only a top-four finish in the Premier League to play for after exiting all three cup competitions. They are currently sixth in the table, seven points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, but they do have two games in hand.
If the Reds are to qualify for the Champions League for the seventh year in a row, there is little room for error. They face a daunting set of games, which Klopp has described as “season-defining.” On Saturday, they travel to Manchester City before facing Chelsea and leaders Arsenal.
Liverpool will want all of their players available for the final stretch, so here’s a look at the latest injury news.
Darwin Nunez (ankle)
The forward has withdrawn from Uruguay duty due to an ankle injury. That may not be too serious if it heals properly. Man City (A) could make a comeback on April 1st.
