Klopp vs. Agbonlahor, new contract & defender “will start” – Latest LFC News

The injury list is one we all wish we could be blissfully unaware of. Unfortunately, we can’t be.

But Klopp did offers a couple of positive updates on Friday, confirming Joe Gomez “will start” having only been fit enough to come off the bench against Crystal Palace due to a “little” issue.

It means he will partner Virgil van Dijk from the start for the first time since the trip to Newcastle in the league back in April.

Nat Phillips appeared to only take part in a light session, while Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate are both unavailable – two of the 11 players forced to miss Thursday’s training.

The other piece of good news is that Roberto Firmino trained “completely normal” and is “ready” for the trip to Man United – which is a godsend after Darwin Nunez‘s suspension.

Unfortunately, there were no other positive updates from the boss – but no news is good news, right?
