Liverpool travel to Old Trafford this evening to face Manchester United and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed three absentees for the match.
On Maguire, Solsjkajer told MUTV: “He’s obviously had the scans and the good news is there is no fracture. [There’s] Ligament damage but hopefully we will see him again this season. Hopefully, he’ll be ready for the [Europa League] final.”
On Martial and James, the Man Utd manager said: “Anthony’s looking good. He has just about started outside jogging, which is the first step on the rehab of course.
“Dan James is not available. He’s still out for a little while.”
The game between Liverpool and Manchester United promises to be a great one as the away side targets a top-four finish and the home side looks to cause an upset for their biggest rivals.
Winning at Old Trafford is imperative for Liverpool if they’re going to stand any chance of finishing the season in the Premier League top four.
Defeat this evening will put a nail in their coffin as far as Champions League qualification is concerned.
Mohamed Salah will need to get his name on the scoresheet if Liverpool are to stand a chance of winning, with their last two wins coming in games the Egpytian scored.
It’s a worrying statistic especially given Manchester United’s knack for keeping Salah quiet at Old Trafford. If he can overcome the odds, Klopp’s side will be boosted in the race for European football.
