Liverpool starting lineup vs Luton: expected lineup, confirmed team news, and most recent injuries

A fitness update on Stefan Bajcetic and Thiago Alcantara is given by Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool is still awaiting good news on injuries before playing Luton this coming weekend.

Jurgen Klopp has stated Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic are no closer to a return as the trip to Kenilworth Road looms, with Andrew Robertson still absent.

“There is still work to be done,” he informed reporters on Friday. “We are unable to apply additional pressure there.

While young midfielder Bajcetic made a brief comeback in September after his 2022–23 campaign ended prematurely due to injury, Thiago has not played since April.

“With Stefan, it’s one of these things where Liverpool have a brilliant player,” Klopp said.

“His talent and quality are evident to all. What a teammate. However, his body wasn’t prepared yet. We must apply the brakes and bide our time till everything settles down.

Following a good development about the kidnapping of his father in Colombia, Liverpool will let Luis Diaz to determine when he is prepared to resume playing.

“We anticipate his return in the upcoming year. Four more weeks, that’s doable, in my opinion. I’m eager for him to return.”

With all four attackers in the goals lately, Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, and Cody Gakpo are vying for the starting position up front.

Predicted starting lineup for Liverpool: Alisson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Tsimikas, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Salah, Nunez, Jota

Doubt: Diaz

Injury: Thiago, Bajcetic, and Robertson

Time and date: Sunday, November 5, 2023, at 3:30 PM GMT

Jurgen Klopp suffered double blow on Liverpool’s two transfer targets after the decision was overturned

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has long been interested in Nice midfielders Hefren Thuram and Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams, but those moves could now become complicated.

Liverpool could regret signing Hefren Thuram and Nico Williams, with a move for the in-demand duo set to become more difficult than ever.

Spaniard Williams, 21, is regarded as one of La Liga’s brightest prospects but his club are now demanding a new deal to keep him at the club alongside his older brother Inaki, who is locked out until 2028.
Like Williams, Nisa midfielder Thuram is also attracting attention from Liverpool.

The 22-year-old footballer has entered the international league of France and is attracting the attention of Juventus.

The Italian giants are looking for a replacement for Paul Pogba, who could face an extended retirement from football after testing positive for a banned substance, and believe Thuram could be the perfect replacement.

Thuram is the son of former French footballer Lilian Thuram, a former Juventus defender, and his older brother Marcus plays for domestic rivals Inter.

According to a new report from Calciomercato, Thuram is Juventus’ top transfer target next summer and is Pogba’s de facto replacement at the Bianconeri.

It means Reds boss Jurgen Klopp could regret his decision not to sign the Frenchman this summer.
Turam’s transfer fee could rise due to interest from Juventus and a deal could now become difficult.

Bilbao, meanwhile, have insisted Nico Williams is not going anywhere and is confident of his commitment to the Basque Country’s long-term future.
Club president Jon Uriarte has now spoken about the winger’s future.

“We are calm,” Uriarte told Diario AS about the future of Williams Jr., among other stars.
“We want an attractive project for Nico and other players like Unai Gomes, who extended his contract this week.

We think Nico will find this project attractive and we believe in him.” His family is loyal to athletics, and this is the highlight of his career.
We have nothing to say about any rumours.

Liverpool have missed out on several transfer targets this summer, including Moises Caicedo and Romeo Rabia, who moved to Chelsea, and Sofian Amrabat, who caught Klopp’s eye, at Manchester United.
