Liverpool will be without FOUR key players until the end of MARCH… with Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Curtis Jones, and Diogo Jota all sidelined until after the international break

liverThe ool will be without goalkeeper Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota until after next month’s international break.

Becker has a hamstring injury, Alexander-Arnold aggravated a knee problem that sidelined him in January and Jones has an ankle strain and none will return before the March 31 Premier League match against Brighton.

“Ali, muscle injury, after the international break this will take a long time,” assistant coach Pep Lijnders said ahead of Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Chelsea.

‘Trent, lateral ligament. It will be after the international break. Jacks, medial ligament. It will be after the international break.

‘Curtis has a sprained ankle. He will be (back) during and around the international break.”

“After the international break it means we are not sure (of the exact date).”

The fitness of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Núñez and Dominik Szoboszlai is being monitored and a late decision on whether they can participate will be made on Sunday.
