Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Red Bull Salzburg

:Headline: Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Red Bull Salzburg: ID:382226: from db_amp
Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Tuesday's crucial Champions League Group E clash with Red Bull Salzburg.

Liverpool know that they must avoid defeat when they take on Red Bull Salzburg on Tuesday night if they are to book their place in the last 16 of the Champions League.

The holders currently sit top of Group E heading into their final match, but they are only one point clear of Napoli and three above Salzburg, who could overtake the Reds with a victory courtesy of their head-to-head record.

Jurgen Klopp's side have only suffered one defeat across all competitions this season, though, and will be guaranteed a spot in the knockout rounds with a draw or win in Austria.

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



Fabinho

Status: Out
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: Unknown

Fabinho is expected to miss the busy festive fixture schedule after suffering an ankle injury in Liverpool's last Champions League group game against Napoli.


Joel Matip

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: December 29 (vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers)

Joel Matip has only made one appearance since September due to an ongoing knee injury and looks set to miss most of December too, although Klopp is hopeful of having the defender back available before the end of the year.



Dejan Lovren

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Muscle
Possible return date: December 10 (vs. Salzburg)

Dejan Lovren limped off five minutes before half time against Bournemouth on Saturday, but Klopp confirmed after the match that it was not a serious injury and the Croatian could be available having been included in the travelling party.



Georginio Wijnaldum

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Cramp
Possible return date: December 10 (vs. Salzburg)

Wijnaldum missed the weekend win over Bournemouth with cramp, but should be available in time for Tuesday's match and is part of Klopp's squad which has travelled to Austria.



Adam Lallana

Status: Out
Type of injury: Cramp
Possible return date: December 14 (vs. Watford)

Klopp confirmed that Adam Lallana was also absent on Saturday due to cramp, although his problem appears to be more serious than Wijnaldum's and he has not travelled to Austria.


Nathaniel Clyne

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown

Nathaniel Clyne is a long-term absentee after picking up a serious knee injury during pre-season, with a return not expected until 2020.
