Trent Alexander-Arnold becomes third Liverpool player to withdraw from international duty https://www.thisisanfield.com/2019/...l-player-to-withdraw-from-international-duty/
Xherdan Shaqiri can expect to be involved against Tottenham on Sunday after Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp provided more detail on the uncomfortable injury the Swiss star has been suffering with. The Switzerland national squad provided the first clue about the playmaker’s absence in recent weeks by tweeting he had been suffering with an embarrassing injury. “The player suffers from inflammation in the pubic area,” was their brief explanation at the time. Klopp has revealed Shaqiri has been struggling with the problem for some time, but told the club’s official website that he expects the star to be fit again for Sunday’s huge clash with Tottenham at Anfield. “[He is] good, much better,” Klopp said. “Shaq, since a couple of weeks [ago], has had some problems with the groin. “He trained, not how he could train, but was still in the squad and all that stuff because we didn’t have a lot of options. Now he feels better day by day and should be fine for the weekend.”
Virgil and Shaq both train today with no problems. Great news. https://www.thisisanfield.com/2019/...ceive-two-injury-boosts-for-southampton-trip/

That should also rule him out of the Africa Cup of Nations. What a rough season for Naby. So many setbacks. Hopefully we get to see the real Naby next season and he is a huge player for us. Naby in top form could be what takes our attack to another level, more than any new signing could. Klopp said that with Naby out, he will absolutely use Ox.
While I think he has improved, I still don't get the feeling he is a game changer. Everyone will be thinking "what could have been" with him in the lineup for both legs but for me, he wouldn't have made much of a difference.
Disagreed. You already saw in the last month about his ball progression, being in the box, and his defensive recoveries. The stats also bear it out. This season wasn’t perfect but you can easily see what he brings - unlike say a fred or pogba. Next year if he can figure out his injuries - he will be a starter.
Having Naby hit form and having Ox available will bring our midfield to a new level next season. The one thing that was missing at times this season was creativity and the ability to link the midfield to the front 3.
fukk - Bobby is out for Tuesday. https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/349037-roberto-firmino-injury-latest-barcelona-klopp
