They’ll have to do without Fabinho and Joel Matip, who were already injured, while Adam Lallana will miss the match too after picking up a knock before the weekend. With Wijnaldum and Lovren back, Jurgen Klopp still has a strong squad to pick from, though there will be decisions to take at centre-back and in central midfield, in particular. Curtis Jones is included in the squad, however, and the young midfielder will be on the bench for the second game in succession, with third-choice goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher the travelling player who will not be in the matchday squad.

Gini Wijnaldum returns to training ahead Liverpool’s trip to Salzburg

Liverpool prepared for their Champions League game with Salzburg with a training session at Melwood in front of the cameras. A make-or-break tie in Austria sees the Reds needing a draw to guarantee progression, while a win would seal top spot in the group. Jurgen Klopp would love to have his entire squad available for such a crucial encounter, but the Reds are without Fabinho and Joel Matip for the entirety of the Christmas fixture list. A couple of injury scares at the weekend added to that concern, but Dejan Lovren—who went off in the first half—and Gini Wijnaldum—who missed the game entirely—were both in training with the squad at Melwood on Monday afternoon. Adam Lallana, who also missed the trip to Dean Court, seemed to train apart from the main group, however, making it unlikely he features in the squad in Austria.

Wijnaldum back, Keita or Ox keep place? – Predicting Liverpool’s lineup vs. Salzburg

More rotation is expected from Jurgen Klopp on Tuesday night, as Liverpool visit Salzburg in a make-or-break Champions League clash. The Reds enjoyed a drama-free victory on Saturday, easing to a 3-0 win away to an ineffective Bournemouth side. Klopp’s men are two matches into a relentless December that could see them play nine times across four different competitions. Next up is Tuesday’s trip to Salzburg, with Liverpool knowing that avoiding defeat will see them reach the Champions League knockout stage. Rotation has been the order of the day of late and that should be no different at the Red Bull Arena.
