It’s been nothing but bad news on the injury front for Liverpool of late, although they may well have one red-hot solution already at the club.
Liverpool World reported that Kaide Gordon is set to be called into the first-team squad for the Premier League clash against Luton on Wednesday night, amid several senior forwards being marked absent.
Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah will all be ruled out tomorrow, leaving Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo as the only senior attackers available to Jurgen Klopp.
Gordon has had serious injury issues of his own in his fledgling career but has bounced back to make a couple of first-team appearances this season, most recently as a late substitute in the 4-0 win at Bournemouth a month ago.
He’s been in flying form for Liverpool’s under-21s since then, registering an assist in three successive games before netting in the 2-1 victory over Newcastle on Saturday, and he’s been hailed by academy coach Barry Lewtas for his ‘sparkling’ recent performances (Liverpool World).
It remains to be seen whether the 19-year-old will be entrusted to go straight into the starting line-up against Luton – he may begin on the bench, with Harvey Elliott selected to start on the right-hand side of attack.
However, Gordon will have looked at how Jarell Quansah and Conor Bradley have flourished upon being given their opportunity in the first team this season and may believe himself capable of making a similar impact if called upon by Klopp.
His name could be put to the manager in the pre-match press conference this afternoon, with Liverpool potentially having an ideal solution to their injury woes staring them straight in the face.

Whenever Liverpool get the chance to stay ahead of the other teams such as City and Arsenal, they lost it after playing a bad game or making wrong decisions by Klopp, even with players available. It seemed that he wish to take a gamble. So Liverpool is likely to lose or at best a draw against Luton. Liverpool has been weak against the lower teams during this time of this time of the League. Likely they will end the season at number 4 or 5.
Wishful thinking. Where did you get your crystal ball from. It sounds like it came out of a bottle.
There is nothing to suggest that they’ll end the season in 4th or 5th – it’s been a remarkable achievement to be on top at this stage but given that their injury list would win most leagues in the world there’s a reasonable argument to suggest City and possibly Arsenal will leapfrog them.
My god what a negative post, maybe you should support someone else.
