A mixed bag of injury news for Liverpool FC on this Good Friday. Curtis Jones (ankle knock), Ibrahima Konate (thigh), Darwin Nunez (hamstring), Luis Diaz (groin issue), and Cody Gakpo (twisted ankle) should all be fine and fit to feature against Brighton on Easter Sunday.
However, it’s going to be another week, at least for Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee) and Diogo Jota (also a knee).

Reds Team News
Meanwhile first choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker (hamstring problem) remains out, and we likely won’t see him until the middle of, or perhaps late April. Regarding left back Andy Robertson, the good news is his ankle injury isn’t serious. The bad news is that the issue will keep him out for a couple weeks though.
Elsewhere Ben Doak (meniscus tear) still has potential to feature again this season, although not until the tail end.
And finally, Stefan Bajcetic has only played twice this season, due to a variety of injury problems. He is supposedly doing well in his recovery, from his most recent health issue, and he should play again at some point this season.
