Liverpool injury news and predicted XI for Leeds United clash as trio could hand Reds injury boost

Liverpool could receive a triple injury boost as Luis Diaz, Alisson Becker and Ibrahim Konate could all return from injury to face Leeds United in their Premier League clash on Monday night.

The Reds are now 12 points off the Champions League spots in eighth, a far cry from their second-place finish last season, having won just once in their last five league matches.

Leeds, on the other hand, are down in 16th despite winning two of their last four games due to the close nature of the relegation battle they've found themselves in - although a win over Liverpool could see them jump to 13th.

In his pre-match press conference, Klopp admitted that his side's injury room was getting full but that he could find himself with some imminent returns.

"Yeah, he's [Luis Diaz] 100 per cent ready in training, so that's it now. He will be in the squad [to play against Leeds] if nothing happens.

"Alisson didn't train [over the week] but should train today individually. Ibou [Konate] couldn't train for two days but should be back today."

Also missing with long-term injuries are midfielder Naby Keita who suffered a muscle injury while on international duty with Guinea, as well as Calvin Ramsey and Stefan Bajcetic who are healing from knee and groin problems respectively.

Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, Van Dijk, Konate, Alexander-Arnold; Jones, Henderson, Fabinho; Jota, Salah, Gakpo.
