Date: Saturday 22/11/25 Venue: Anfield Time: 15:00 League positions: LFC 8th. NFFC 19th Ref: Andy Madley Injury updates: Bradley and Wirtz both doubts with muscle injuries whilst on international duty.
Bradley out for the next seven games says Slot.......Wirtz not so long. Frimpong still out for 'the next two or three weeks'
This will be really frustrating to see, just put Gomez there - he's a terrible CB nowadays but can do a job at FB
Shame really - if he can't get on top of this his top-flight career will be in jeopardy. Same happened to Gomez, injured all the time so can't nail down a place. Speaking of Gomez, I'm amazed that he's only 28 - feels like he's been at the club for ever.
I'm NI so biased... And agree with Gomez comparison except that one injury I think killed Gomez. I actually think it's maybe where we are behind... I think some teams have realised you can't have 6ft 16st blokes act like box to box midfielders without damage. Other sports get away with it because you switch in and out more often... This is the most physical, fastest paced league in Europe. And we want big , muscled guys to do that for 70-90 minutes(not stop start) 3 times every ten days. That style of football requires 10-12 1st team defenders, all ready to go every match.
Slot is worried if he starts he will be injured so not available as cover though the obvious question then is why have him in the squad if you won't use him unless it's for 10 mins when we already have the game won
