Liverpool Starting XI v LASK: Confirmed Team News and Predicted Line-up

Liverpool Starting XI v LASK: Confirmed Team News and Predicted Line-up Liverpool Team News vs LASK: Isak, Gakpo and Szoboszlai Miss Out Liverpool head to Austria for their latest Champions League test against LASK without three important attacking options. Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai have all failed to make the trip, leaving Andoni Iraola with a thinner squad than he would want for a demanding away fixture. The aim is straightforward. Liverpool want a second win from two in the league phase after opening with a comeback victory over Atletico Madrid at Anfield. The problem is equally clear. Isak, Gakpo and Szoboszlai are all carrying injuries, and none has recovered in time for Wednesday night in Linz. Photo: IMAGO Injury Blow for Liverpool Attack Isak and Gakpo were already absent for the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City after picking up issues during the international break. Szoboszlai then joined them on the sidelines after a hamstring problem ruled him out in what was an unexpected setback. That leaves Iraola short in forward areas. With Federico Chiesa unavailable because he was not named in the Champions League squad, Lewis Koumas is pushing to keep his place in the front line. Liverpool do not have many alternatives, so necessity may dictate selection. Midfield Options Open Up There is a similar issue in midfield. Wataru Endo is also unavailable for Europe, which gives Trey Nyoni a realistic chance of starting alongside Alexis Mac Allister. Ryan Gravenberch remains another option, and there is logic in using him here given that he will be suspended for the weekend trip to Brentford. Likely Liverpool XI in Linz Rotation at the back would make sense too. Jeremy Jacquet returned from a hamstring strain to start against Manchester City, but another quick turnaround may persuade Iraola to manage his minutes. Jeremie Frimpong looks a strong candidate to come in at right-back. Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson, Frimpong, Gomez, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Munoz, Wirtz, Barcola, Koumas. Kick-off is at 5.45pm BST on Wednesday, October 14 at Raiffeisen Arena.
