Liverpool XI vs. Brighton starting lineup predictions, confirmed team news, and the most recent Darwin Nunez injury
Share
The Reds’ injury problems are finally abating.
Darwin Nunez will be ready for Liverpool’s Premier League match against Brighton on Sunday.
Due to a hamstring problem, which he disclosed to Jurgen Klopp during the FA Cup loss to Manchester United prior to the international break, the striker was left off of the national team roster.
The Liverpool manager stated, “He completed his rehabilitation during the week, trained on the first day since we are back partially, and since then he is in full training.”
Following concerns about injuries, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, and Ibrahima Konate ought to be included in the team as well. They have all recently appeared for their nations. At Old Trafford, Diaz and Gakpo experienced groyne and ankle problems, respectively, and Konate, who had missed four Liverpool games owing to a thigh problem, was playing for France.
A player who suffered an ankle injury while playing for Scotland, Andrew Robertson, has returned from the internationals struggling with a new fitness issue. He will be evaluated closer to kickoff since the injury is not believed to be significant.
Joe Gomez is most likely to step in if the left-back is out, freeing up Conor Bradley to return to the right side of defence.
Ryan Gravenberch, who recovered from his ankle injury at Wembley, might be able to make his first start since the Carabao Cup final.
A probable return from his own ankle injury for Curtis Jones would provide another option for the midfield.
Though they are not yet ready for primetime, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota are expected to make their returns early in the upcoming month.
Predicted Liverpool XI: Kelleher; Bradley, Van Dijk, Mac Allister, Konate, Gomez; Szoboszlai, Gravenberch; Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Doubts: Nunez, Robertson, Jones
Injuries: Alexander-Arnold, Jota, Thiago, Bajcetic, Doak, Matip, Alisson
Time and date: 2pm GMT, Sunday March 31, 2024
Venue: Anfield

“Magical”: The world press praises the “exceptional” Liverpool player, as 9/10 rating says it all.
Conor Bradley of Liverpool received great feedback following his performance for Northern Ireland against Romania. He received a player rating of 9 out of 10 for his performance.
In an international friendly on Friday night, Northern Ireland and Romania tied 1-1, with Liverpool defender Conor Bradley being the standout player.
The 20-year-old was given a fresh role that allowed him to contribute on both sides of the pitch. He recovered possession early on to help his team score their first goal in the seventh minute, starting a performance that Belfast Live named Man of the Match.
Bradley’s performance earned him a 9 out of 10 player rating, with recognition given to his work ethic and status as the Green Army’s “standout player” on the pitch.
The Belfast Telegraph, who was pleased by the Liverpool star’s attitude and skill, also called his performance “magical.” Jürgen Klopp, the club manager, has previously highlighted both of these aspects of his game.
Bradley recently talked to BBC Sport about Klopp while representing Northern Ireland at the international level. “He’s just good with me and helps me out when I need help,” stated the man.
“Hopefully at the end of the season with Liverpool I’ll have a couple more medals to my name, which would be brilliant and give the gaffer the send-off he deserves.”
“I will always be grateful to him because he has given me my first chance and has helped me a lot. Although winning the Premier League would be wonderful, there is still a lot of work to be done and many games remaining.
According to Liverpool.com, Conor Bradley is making rapid progress since being given a run of first team games, and it appears that he is duplicating the impressive displays for Northern Ireland that Liverpool supporters have been witnessing. After an outstanding year thus far, it’s terrific to see him get the credit he deserves, and it’s fascinating to see how amazing the 20-year-old could get. Against Romania, he displayed his best offensive and defensive skills along with more evidence of his boundless potential.
In certain games where the vice captain plays in midfield, Klopp might even think about using both of them while Trent Alexander-Arnold gets ready to make a comeback. Richard Hughes, the sporting director, won’t need to consider right-backs as possible additions this summer.
