Jurgen Klopp will not make any significant alterations to his Liverpool starting XI for the visit of Bournemouth due to a continuing injury crisis.
A 2-1 loss to Manchester United makes this return to Anfield a must-win for the Reds, who have just two points from their first three Premier League games.
Fabinho was fit enough to play on Monday night, and the Brazilian anchor man should provide Klopp a much-needed lift to start this game, albeit the benefits may not last.
Ibrahima Konate (knee), Joel Matip (groin), Caoimhin Kelleher, and Calvin Ramsay are all out, therefore Joe Gomez will likely continue at center-back alongside Virgil van Dijk.
Naby Keita joins Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (hamstring), Thiago Alcantara (thigh), and Curtis Jones (calf) on the midfield’s absentee list.
In attack, Diogo Jota is nearing a return from a thigh problem but this game is likely to come too soon. Darwin Nunez serves the second of a three-game suspension.
Klopp will discuss his Liverpool team’s condition in Friday’s press conference.
Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Elliott, Fabinho, Milner; Salah, Firmino, Diaz.
