Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers

Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.

Fresh from a dominant Merseyside derby victory, Liverpool prepare to travel to Wolverhampton Wanderers for Saturday's Premier League battle.

The Reds prevailed 4-1 at Goodison Park on Wednesday evening, with Mohamed Salah netting twice while Jordan Henderson and Diogo Jota also made the net ripple.

Jurgen Klopp's men have kept pace with Manchester City and Chelsea following that triumph, currently sitting third with a two-point gap separating them from the table-topping Blues.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.


Naby Keita

Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: December 11 (vs. Aston Villa)

Jurgen Klopp is hopeful that Naby Keita will be able to return to training next week as he battles back from a hamstring problem, but he will not be ready this weekend.

Curtis Jones is "completely fine" after his freak eye injury, according to Klopp, but the nature of the issue means that he will not be available for Saturday's game.
