Early Liverpool team news shared for Premier League clash v West Ham United – Injury expert
Jurgen Klopp will be without four Liverpool players for their upcoming Premier League clash against West Ham United on Wednesday (26 April), according to injury expert Ben Dinnery.
Both sides arrive into the clash on the back of consecutive wins in the last week, which have seen West Ham draw six points clear of the relegation zone and Liverpool reignite their push for European football.
Writing for the Premier Injuries website, Dinnery shared that Brazilian forward Roberto Firmino is ruled out of the clash at the London Stadium alongside midfielder Naby Keita, with both players yet to have a return date labelled.
Calvin Ramsay remains out with a knee injury with an expected return date of 5 June, while rising star Stefan Bajcetic is ruled out with a groin injury with the same potential return date shared.
Exciting encounter
Considering the stellar form of both David Moyes’ side and Liverpool over the last fortnight, this has all the makings of a box-office encounter.
After going through some sticky patches in form, both teams have kick-started back into life in quite some style.
Over the last couple of matches for the two sides, a crazy 17 goals have been scored, so goals could be in abundance at the London Stadium.
Liverpool have no pressing injury concerns, with both Firming and Keita occupying the bench for most of the season and Bajcetic in and out of the side despite his impressive performances this term.
If West Ham United can claim one more win, it should be enough to confirm their Premier League status for next season.
With the club’s safety all but confirmed and a Europa Conference League semi-final awaiting on the horizon, things are suddenly looking rather positive in East London.
