Arsenal travel to Anfield on Saturday to face one of their toughest opponents of the season in Liverpool. Yet the Reds could be without two key players on the night.
As reported by the Liverpool Echo, captain Jordan Henderson and Sadio Mane both could miss the fixture due to injuries sustained over the international break.
Henderson has returned to Merseyside from England’s training camp ahead of tonight’s clash against San Marino. Whilst Mane came off for Senegal after colliding with a Togo defender.
Whilst it is not yet known if the duo will miss the fixture, it is a big update regarding Arsenal ahead of their trip up north to Liverpool. The Gunners are just two points off the Merseyside giants in the Premier League.
Indeed, Arsenal have not won at Anfield since 2012. And a win, even with the likes of Henderson and Mane potentially out, seems unlikely for Mikel Arteta’s side.
Playing away from home against top-six rivals has always been something of an Achilles Heel for the Gunners. And Saturday will be a real test for Arsenal against Liverpool.
