Liverpool injury news ahead of Arsenal visit

Liverpool centre-backs Mamadou Sakho and Kolo Toure may be in contention for the visit of Arsenal on Wednesday.

Sakho has declared himself fit and available for selection while Toure has trained without any problems.

Dejan Lovren isn’t ready yet so remains ruled out along with a host of other first team players. You might want to check our Liverpool Injuries page for the latest on that front otherwise we’ll be here all day.

Speaking at today’s pre-match press conference, manager Jürgen Klopp said: “The situation now is better than it was two or three days ago because I think Kolo will be available, so we will have a senior centre-back.

“Mama wants to be available, hopefully we can use him and then we’ll see.

“Martin is still a few weeks and Dejan feels good but the time of his injury was January 5th at Stoke, so it’s only been 6 days until now and 8 until Arsenal and United will be 12. It’s close and there’ll be a moment when we have to decide if it’s a risk, or if it’s a risk we could try. But it’s not the moment for this and we have to wait.

“That’s the situation, so we will probably have Kolo and Mama and the next one is Lucas [who can play at centre-back].”

“Jordon Ibe, Jordan Henderson and Mama, who I spoke about, is three [bits of] good news.

“Milner was, but we left him at home when we were in Exeter. He is still in training.

“They are all good news.”
