Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Leicester City

Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Leicester City on Thursday.

Liverpool will endeavour to keep their fleeting Premier League title hopes alive when they welcome Leicester City to Anfield on Thursday evening.

Jurgen Klopp's side advanced to the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 3-1 victory over Cardiff City on Sunday, as Diogo Jota, Takumi Minamino and Harvey Elliott made the net ripple.

The Reds also saw off Crystal Palace by the same scoreline before the international break and are nine points behind Manchester City with a game in hand, so the race for glory is far from done and dusted.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with the Foxes.


Divock Origi
