Liverpool face injury crisis ahead of Tottenham clash
Liverpool face injury crisis ahead of Tottenham clash

Liverpool could be missing up to seven senior players when they travel to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, as Arne Slot's injury woes deepen. The Reds boss had only 13 outfield players available for last weekend's win over Brighton & Hove Albion, and the situation has worsened since.

Joe Gomez was forced off with a hamstring injury midway through the first half against Brighton, and Dominik Szoboszlai limped off late on with an ankle problem. Slot confirmed Gomez is unlikely to face Spurs, while Szoboszlai remains a doubt. Mohamed Salah has also departed for Africa Cup of Nations duty, further depleting options.

Conor Bradley returns from suspension and could feature at Tottenham, while Jeremie Frimpong is closing in on a return after a hamstring injury. However, Cody Gakpo and Wataru Endo are both sidelined for several weeks, and Giovanni Leoni is out for the season after ACL surgery.

Youngsters Stefan Bajcetic, Jayden Danns, and Kaide Gordon are also injured, and Trey Nyoni's absence from the Brighton squad remains unexplained. Slot may again turn to the academy to fill his matchday squad for the trip to north London.
