How will Liverpool line up against LASK without Isak, Szoboszlai and Gakpo?

Liverpool will be without Alexander Isak, Dominic Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo for Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League game at LASK.

The trio was removed from the 23-man squad that the “Reds” appointed for the match.

They also missed Sunday’s 3-0 Premier League defeat to Manchester City at Anfield after picking up an injury during the international break.

Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni, who have been sidelined for a long time, are out.

How Liverpool can come together against LASK

It is expected that Alisson Becker will remain in the goal, and Ronald Araujo, Jeremy Jacquet and Virgil van Dijk will also be able to keep their places in front of the Brazilian goalkeeper.

Given Hungary’s struggles, Kostas Tsimikas could replace Milos Kerkes at left-back.

Ryan Gravenberch will start back-to-back games for the first time this season as he is suspended for Saturday’s Premier League clash at Brentford.

Alexis Mac Allister is set to partner Gravenberch in central midfield, with Florian Wirtz playing as a No.10 despite calls to drop him.

Bradley Barcola could also keep his place, but teenager Rio Ngumoha could replace Victor Munoz, who started against Man City.

Lewis Koumas should lead the line again in Isak’s absence, the only fit centre-forward.

Andoni Iraola will be looking for a strong response from his side after Sunday’s defeat to Cityzens.

“Liverpool” defeated “Atletico Madrid” in the opening match of the Champions League. A win against LASK would mean they have won their first two matches in Europe’s premier club competition for the fifth time in the last seven campaigns.
