Liverpool XI vs Tottenham: Van Dijk injury latest, predicted lineup and confirmed team news for Premier League | OneFootball

Liverpool could be without Virgil van Dijk for Tottenham’s visit on Sunday.

The Dutchman has played in 33 of Liverpool’s 35 Premier League matches so far this season, but has missed training this week and a late decision will be made on his fitness.

“Virgil wasn’t [training] the whole week yet, probably part of parts of team training today,” Klopp revealed at his pre-match press conference on Friday.

“So we have to see what we can do there.

Mohamed Salah could come back into the side at Anfield, with Klopp insisting any disagreement between the pair has been resolved.

The Egyptian was dropped to the bench for the 2-2 draw with West Ham last weekend and clashed angrily with Klopp on the touchline as he was preparing to come on in the second-half.

While the Liverpool boss attempted to downplay the incident after the match, Salah declined to stop for an interview and said: “If I speak today there will be fire.”

Diogo Jota has not yet returned to training as he continues to battle a hip injury, but Conor Bradley is available again. It is difficult to predict what Klopp does with his side in the final matches of the campaign, especially as Liverpool are now effectively out of the title race.

Ibrahima Konate could get the nod to partner Virgil van Dijk at the back, while Dominik Szoboszlai will hope to replace Ryan Gravenberch in midfield.

Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Konate, Robertson; Endo, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Gakpo, Diaz Doubts: Van Dijk

Injuries: Jota, Matip, Thiago, Doak
