Liverpool head coach, Arne Slot has reportedly confirmed Alexander Isak and Curtis Jones will miss the Reds’ matchup with Aston Villa at Anfield on Saturday night.
Ryan Gravenberch has resumed training and may play ahead of a pivotal week in his team’s season, according to the Reds boss, who is under pressure.
After injuring his ankle during the home loss to Manchester United two weeks ago, the midfielder has missed the last three games.
British transfer record-breaking signing Isak has been sidelined after suffering a groin injury during the first half of the Champions League victory at Eintracht Frankfurt, while midfielder Jones was substituted during the second half of last weekend’s 3-2 Premier League loss at Brentford.
