Liverpool Hit by Injury Crisis Ahead of Crucial Carabao Cup Clash ⚽🔥

Liverpool’s struggles could deepen as up to nine key players face the risk of missing tonight’s Carabao Cup showdown against Crystal Palace. Arne Slot’s men are desperate to bounce back after a disastrous run that’s seen them lose five of their last six matches — including defeats to Manchester United, Chelsea, Brentford, and even Galatasaray in Europe.

Despite spending nearly £450 million during the summer transfer window, the Reds have failed to find stability under Slot, whose job pressure continues to mount.

🚑 Injury woes:

Alisson Becker, Jeremie Frimpong, and Giovanni Leoni are confirmed absentees due to injury.

Ryan Gravenberch and Alexander Isak remain doubtful after missing the weekend’s 3–2 defeat to Brentford with ankle and groin issues.

Curtis Jones is also a major concern after limping off late in the same match.

However, there’s a glimmer of hope as Hugo Ekitike returns to the squad, having served his suspension from the previous round.

Slot remains optimistic but cautious, acknowledging the threat Crystal Palace pose after their late win over Liverpool earlier this season.

> “Palace are a team that keep fighting until the final whistle,” Slot noted. “We need to be ready for that.”

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner confirmed that Walter Benitez and Jaydee Canvo will both start at Anfield, while Chris Richards is sidelined with a minor calf injury.

With both sides looking to prove a point, tonight’s clash promises to be more than just a cup tie — it’s a test of resilience, redemption, and reaction. 💥
