Jurgen Klopp gives triple injury boost ahead of Man Utd clash, it’s just what Liverpool fans wanted to hear

Ahead of his team’s FA Cup quarterfinal matchup with Manchester United, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has provided an update on his three injuries.

Injuries have plagued the Reds recently; Ryan Gravenberch, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson, and Diogo Jota have all missed time due to injury.

Similar issues have also beset Erik ten Hag and United, as Mason Mount, Tyrell Malacia, and Luke Shaw are all sidelined.

Liverpool has another opportunity to go closer to a possible quadruple this season with the match against their bitter rivals; the return of three important players has helped the German team.

“After the international break, Trent and Diogo have a chance, and Chris has a chance the week after,” Klopp stated on Friday.

Ryan Gravenberch, a midfielder, trained this week and is available for selection. Klopp also gave an update on Stefan Bajcetic, a Spanish midfielder who has been out with a long-term injury:

He senses something, but it’s intensity rather than injuries.

“We want to wait to use him until he is truly prepared. The intensity was more than his body was prepared for.

“He is in a much better place now but we have to wait. [He will be] part of team training after the international break.”

In August 2022, Liverpool’s last trip to the Theatre of Dreams resulted in a 2-1 loss; however, Ten Hag’s first victory as United’s manager was secured thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho.

The Dutchman recently emphasised that in order for his team to advance to the competition’s semifinals, they must also exhibit the same degree of drive.

“We’re really looking forward to that game,” he said.

“There are always huge fixtures [between] Manchester United [and] Liverpool and the players, they want to play such games because they get challenged.

“We know that it’s a strong side, but yeah, as I say, the challenge is there and we want to play our football. We want to show that we can beat them.”
