Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is feeling confident about his team’s upcoming match against Arsenal thanks to some positive injury news. The Reds will be boosted by the return of three key players: Luis Diaz, Virgil van Dijk, and Thiago Alcantara, all of whom have been struggling with injuries.
Diaz has been out of action since October, leaving a gap in Liverpool’s attack. However, he has recently been spotted training ahead of their match against Manchester City and is expected to make a full return against Leeds. This will be a significant boost for Liverpool’s attacking options.
Thiago has been out of action since February due to a hip problem, but he managed to score a goal against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Van Dijk, on the other hand, was absent during Liverpool’s draw against Chelsea but played a part in their 4-1 win over Manchester City.
Klopp has now confirmed that all three players are back in training and ready to play. “Virgil, completely normal, was back in training. Luis and Thiago’s training is completely normal,” he said. “The plan with Luis is that he will be available 100 percent for Leeds. Again, it looks good, everything is fine, but it was a long, long injury and so we have to be careful. We will probably not involve him for Sunday. Thiago looks slightly different. He was not out that long, trained now three, or four times with the team, and might be available. But we have to check how he feels today.”
Liverpool has been struggling to find form lately, having failed to win any of their last four games in all competitions. Their last victory came in their thrilling match against Manchester United. However, Klopp’s positive injury update will no doubt give the team a boost as they prepare to face Arsenal in what promises to be a crucial match in the title race.
