In the recent victory over Bournemouth, the Reds’ defender suffered a late-game injury, raising concerns about his availability.
However, manager Jurgen Klopp has allayed fears by confirming that the defender, Alexander-Arnold, is in good shape and ready to participate in the upcoming match at St James’ Park.
Concerns Linger for Liverpool Ahead of Newcastle Clash
While Alexander-Arnold’s recovery is a positive development, Liverpool faces other challenges leading up to the match.
Ibrahima Konate’s participation remains uncertain due to a muscle issue.
Klopp addressed the media in a pre-match press conference, highlighting the added strain on his team stemming from Alexis Mac Allister’s red card in the Bournemouth game.
Notably, the red card decision was subsequently overturned.
Player Updates and Tactical Considerations
Thiago Alcantara and Curtis Jones are anticipated to resume training on Monday, which unfortunately rules them out for the Newcastle fixture.
Klopp might opt to introduce Wataru Endo to fortify the midfield; this could mark the Japanese signing’s full debut. Endo offers a more defensive approach compared to Cody Gakpo, thus bolstering the team’s central presence.
Attack Lineup and Rumor Dispelled
With Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz having found the net in the previous weekend’s game, they are likely to maintain their positions in the attacking lineup.
Addressing recent rumors, Klopp seems set to field Mohamed Salah, dismissing speculation about his departure to Saudi Arabia.
Predicted Lineup and Key Details
The predicted starting lineup for Liverpool includes Alisson in goal, a defensive quartet of Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, and Robertson, a midfield trio of Mac Allister, Endo, and Szoboszlai, and an attacking trio consisting of Salah, Jota, and Diaz.
Notably absent due to injury are Thiago and Jones, with Konate’s participation remaining uncertain.
Match Information
The match is scheduled for Sunday, August 27, 2023, at 4:30 pm and will take place at St James’ Park.
