Liverpool has displayed exceptional resilience in consistently securing victories despite a significant number of players being sidelined due to injuries. Jürgen Klopp’s depleted team is poised to undergo its most challenging examination of its abilities as it welcomes Manchester City on Sunday.
Despite being understaffed, the Reds have emerged victorious in their previous five matches, even though they have been missing a minimum of 10 players, with an average of 11. What adds to its exceptional nature is that the games occurred within a concise 15-day timeframe and encompassed a physically demanding cup final that required additional time, as well as a journey to the Czech Republic.
Although the number of injuries has remained elevated in the past two weeks, certain important players have recovered while others have been benched. Both Darwin Núñez and Dominik Szoboszlai have participated in the previous two matches, although Mohamed Salah has only made his second appearance for Liverpool since New Year’s Day on Thursday evening.
