Six players may be unable to participate in the Liverpool vs Newcastle Premier League match due to injury.

Liverpool will face Newcastle United at Anfield on Wednesday night, marking their return to Premier League competition.

The Reds will enter the game with an 11-point advantage at the summit of the table as a result of their victory over Manchester City at the weekend. The victory at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon enabled Arne Slot’s team to further establish their lead over Arsenal at the summit of the table.

Liverpool is currently the overwhelming favourite to win the league title this season, despite the fact that the Gunners still have a game in hand. Liverpool will be anticipating an improved outcome in comparison to the reverse fixture against Newcastle, which resulted in a 3-3 stalemate at St James’ Park in December. The injury update on Slot’s squad has already been provided, and it will include some absentees for the Magpies’ visit.

Conor Bradley, Joe Gomez, and Tyler Morton have all been excluded from the match against Newcastle.

Morton recently underwent surgery for a shoulder injury, while Bradley and Gomez are recuperating from hamstring injuries.”Yes, I believe that Mac Allister will be able to recover.” On Tuesday, Slot informed reporters that he would be training with us. “Conor [Bradley] does not.”

He will be absent for a few weeks. I am unable to provide an exact count, but it is evident that he sustained a muscle injury upon his departure, and it will be some time before he is able to return. When Newcastle visits Anfield on Wednesday night, they will also have players on the sidelines.

Jamaal Lascelles is a confirmed absentee, but the Magpies remain optimistic that Joelinton and Sven Botman may be able to return to the pitch to face Liverpool. Joelinton has been recuperating from a knee injury that he sustained at the beginning of February. However, he may be included in the match against Liverpool. Newcastle has not fielded Botman since the second leg of the Carabao Cup against Arsenal earlier this month.

However, Howe has indicated that the defender is nearing a return. During his pre-match press conference on Tuesday, Howe stated, “Sven is improving at a rapid pace, and we will determine whether he is able to make the team.” “It’ll be close.” “Joe is once again demonstrating remarkable improvement and success, much like Sven. He is consistently striving to improve.”
