Liverpool vs. West Ham: Latest Injury and Team Updates – Three Out, Jarrod Bowen in a Fitness Battle

In the Premier League this weekend, Liverpool will play host to West Ham. Before Saturday’s game at Anfield, here are the most recent updates on player health and availability from both clubs.

After five games in the Premier League 2023/24 season, Liverpool has a 4-1 record heading into this weekend’s clash versus West Ham United.

West Ham has only lost once this year, to Manchester City, and they just trounced Brighton with ease. They began their midweek Europa League group stage campaign with a victory over Baka Topola of the Serbian SuperLiga.

Jürgen Klopp was unable to provide a thorough injury update for this match since he was required to conduct a pre-recorded news conference because the Europa League game was played on a Thursday night.

We are still awaiting word on the health of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Thiago Alcântara because neither player was healthy enough to participate in the triumph over LASK (even if they both might have).

A week after Klopp said, “He didn’t train with the team once yet and will take a little bit,” in a press conference prior to the Reds’ game against Wolves, Alexander-Arnold might be available for West Ham’s meeting against the Red Devils.

A hamstring injury rarely ranks among the worst things that can happen to a person, but recovery typically takes longer than two weeks. Nothing special about this wound. He can already run, so we believe that he will be able to begin ball training early next week.

Asserting that Thiago was merely jogging, Klopp agreed. The Spaniard had hoped to return for preseason, but he hasn’t appeared on the field at all so far this season.

Despite not being anticipated to start this weekend’s game against Emerson, West Ham boss David Moyes announced on Thursday that left defender Aaron Cresswell left the game against Baka Topola at halftime owing to a muscular injury.

More importantly, West Ham is crossing its fingers that Jarrod Bowen will be well enough to play at Anfield despite being sick with a virus. At the time of Moyes’ news conference, he had missed their Europa League match and had not exercised all week due to sickness.

Edson Lvarez was suspended from the Europa League game despite being eligible to play for Liverpool (suspensions from one club do not transfer to another).

Alisson, Gomez, Konaté, Van Dijk, Robertson, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Jones, Salah, Gakpo, and Jota make up Liverpool’s anticipated lineup.
