Liverpool Grapple with Injuries Ahead of FA Cup Clash

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp faces a daunting task, admitting his team “need miracles” to navigate their mounting injury crisis before their FA Cup clash against Southampton.

Dutch midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, who suffered an ankle injury during the League Cup final win, has joined the ever-growing list of unavailable players, bringing the total to 13. Key figures like Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Dominik Szoboszlai are training but remain doubtful for Wednesday’s match at Anfield.

“The injury list hasn’t improved much,” acknowledged Klopp, highlighting the team’s predicament. Even players who featured in the League Cup final, like Wataru Endo, are questionable due to knocks they picked up during the match.
