Liverpool fans are already concerned ahead of their game against Arsenal at the weekend after news of their injury issues emerged last night.
Injury concerns mounting
The Liverpool Echo report that both Jordan Henderson and Sadio Mane are doubts for the Reds, after suffering injuries over the international break.
Mane hurt himself while playing for Senegal, while Henderson had to withdraw from England duty.
The Echo now report that the pair are set for scans back at Liverpool in the next two days, as Jurgen Klopp’s side wait and see whether they will be able to call on either on Saturday evening.
Liverpool fans are already fearing the worst after last night’s news though.
And there is a real sinking feeling creeping in on Merseyside now.
Big blow?
If Henderson and Mane are out it could be a real blow to Liverpool’s chances of winning.
Klopp’s men will likely start the game as favourites, but Arsenal are unbeaten in 10 now and will be full of confidence.
If Mane is out, it could be that Divock Origi steps into Liverpool’s side from the off.
Henderson’s injury will also give Klopp plenty to think about.
Curtis Jones may have started, but he is also not quite a full fitness yet.
Liverpool could play Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain or Thiago at the weekend, but neither are as proven as Henderson.
And with Arsenal now breathing down the Reds’ necks in the Premier League table, their injury issues are hardly ideal preparation for the game.
