Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with West Ham United.

Liverpool will be looking to make it four straight wins in all competitions when they continue their 2020-21 Premier League campaign at home to West Ham United on Saturday.

The Reds are currently second in the Premier League table, having collected 13 points from their first six matches of the season.

Jurgen Klopp's side beat Sheffield United 2-1 in the league last weekend, while they also recorded a 2-0 victory over FC Midtjylland in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with West Ham, who have held Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City to draws in their last two matches.


Virgil van Dijk

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

Liverpool are likely to be without Virgil van Dijk for the remainder of the 2020-21 campaign, with the Netherlands international picking up a serious knee injury against Everton in the Merseyside derby.


Fabinho

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

Fabinho picked up a hamstring issue against Midtjylland in the Champions League and will not be available for selection this weekend. The midfielder has also withdrawn from the Brazil squad for their November fixtures, suggesting that he will not be fit until at least the latter stages of next month.


Thiago Alcantara

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: October 31 (vs. West Ham United)

Thiago Alcantara has missed Liverpool's last two matches due to the knee injury that he picked up against Everton in the Merseyside derby. The issue is not believed to be serious, though, and he could be available for selection against the Hammers this weekend.


Naby Keita

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Unspecified
Possible return date: October 31 (vs. West Ham United)

Naby Keita has not turned out for Liverpool since the start of the month due to an unspecified issue, but the central midfielder could be available for selection against David Moyes's side.


Joel Matip

Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Muscle
Possible return date: October 31 (vs. West Ham United)

Fabinho's injury could see Joel Matip return to the fold this weekend, although Klopp admitted that he 'does not know' whether the centre-back, who has had a muscular issue, will be available when questioned on Tuesday.


Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

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

It is still unclear when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain might be available as the England international battles back from the knee injury that he suffered during pre-season.


Kostas Tsimikas

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

Summer signing Kostas Tsimikas is currently battling a thigh issue and will again not feature this weekend, but Klopp recently said that the defender is 'getting closer and closer' to a return.


LIVERPOOL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Liverpool have no players suspended for this weekend's contest.
