Three players expected to miss Liverpool vs PSG Champions League clash with injury

Latest Liverpool news and gossip as the Reds prepare to face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League

Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain have contrasting fortunes when it comes to the squad options at their disposal for their Champions League clash. The Reds will take on the French giants in the second leg of their last-16 tie at Anfield on Tuesday night.

Arne Slot and Co. go into the game with a 1-0 lead from the first leg victory in Paris last week. Harvey Elliott scored the only goal of the game, with Alisson Becker making several important saves to keep a clean sheet for Liverpool.

Slot has been forced to deal with several injury concerns at Liverpool during his first season as the club's head coach. That has been the case for the last couple of weeks, with the Reds being without some key players in their recent matches.

Joe Gomez (hamstring), Conor Bradley (muscle) and Tyler Morton (shoulder) all remain sidelined with their respective injuries. The trio have all been unavailable for several weeks and will not be part of the matchday squad.

Cody Gakpo could be in line to return to the starting line-up for Liverpool after missing the wins over PSG and Southampton over the last week with a knock. The Netherlands international was spotted in training on Monday and Slot confirmed that Gakpo is in to feature at Anfield on Tuesday night.

"Yeah, he [Gakpo] will be in the squad," Slot told reporters on Monday. "He trained today for the first time."

PSG, though, will have a fully fit squad at their disposal when they face Liverpool on Tuesday night. The French club named the same 22-man squad as the first leg after manager Luis Enrique rested several key players for the win over Rennes in Ligue 1 at the weekend.
