Liverpool without trio for Brighton trip?

Liverpool could be without three key players for Saturday's early Premier League clash at Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Merseyside giants are currently six points behind leaders Manchester City, but have a game in hand to catch up.

Hence, they have a genuine chance of winning the title, but could be missing key players for tomorrow's league game.

Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Thiago Alcantara were all absent for Thursday's first-team training session.

Klopp has not confirmed their absence for the Brighton trip, but hinted indirectly by citing that they are not injured.

"So far no one is out of training. COVID is not over and these kind of things we have as well. We will see how that is going on," he said.

According to Liverpool Echo, the trio may have tested positive for coronavirus, judging by their non-involvement.

Liverpool have a busy week ahead as they are scheduled to face Arsenal, just four days after taking on Brighton on the road.
