This is the set of players Jurgen Klopp will be able to choose from when Leicester City visits Anfield on Wednesday night to kick off Liverpool’s 2023–24 Carabao Cup campaign.
Trent Alexander-Arnold will not be able to play for Liverpool against Leicester City in the Carabao Cup third round, despite making progress in his hamstring injury recovery.
Toward the end of the Reds’ final game before the current month’s international break, the vice-captain experienced the problem. Alexander-Arnold was consequently sidelined for those most recent England games as well as Liverpool’s games against Wolverhampton Wanderers, LASK, and West Ham United after his return.
Pep Lijnders, the assistant manager, gave a positive health report for the full-back, saying that he has begun to practice with the team again in small doses. Wednesday’s cup game, though, will come too soon; a better objective would be the impending Premier League trip to Tottenham Hotspur.
As fans continue to wonder when they will see Thiago Alcantara back in action, Jurgen Klopp’s second in command also mentioned the Spaniard. Since he is still “healing” from the problem he acquired in April, there is currently no estimated time period.
Wataru Endo will be released by Jurgen Klopp following his’super’ Liverpool admission and Takumi Minamino’s suggestion.
Pep Lijnders issues a warning regarding a striker for Liverpool whose “life has just changed.”

Other than Conor Bradley, who is still out while recovering from a long-term injury he suffered in preseason, Sunday’s victory over West Ham did not result in any new injuries.
The Carabao Cup presents an opportunity to bring younger players into the first team setup in addition to the ability to advance to Wembley and win trophies.
The Reds have won the competition nine times during the course of the competition’s 63-year history, with the most recent victory coming during the cup double-winning campaign of 2021–2022. Due to a late comeback and a penalty shootout in front of the Kop in the quarterfinal round that season, they defeated Leicester.
Changes are anticipated, just like the Europa League group stage matchup against LASK last week. Despite being demoted from the Premier League last season, the Foxes will not be taken lightly. They are now leading the Championship after winning seven of their last eight games under new manager Enzo Maresca.
The whole Liverpool roster, which should be available for tonight’s game, is as follows:
Goalkeepers: Adrian, Caoimhin Kelleher, and Alisson Becker.
Defenders: Kostas Tsimikas, Joel Matip, Andy Robertson, Joe Gomez, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, and Jarell Quansah.
Midfielders: Ryan Gravenberch, Harvey Elliott, Dominik Szoboszlai, Stefan Bajcetic, Wataru Endo, and Alexis Mac Allister.
Attackers: Ben Doak, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, and Diogo Jota.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Thiago Alcantara, and Conor Bradley all ruled out.
