Liverpool Dealing with Key Absences Ahead of PSG Showdown
Liverpool will head to Paris for their Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night without several key players. Despite having no domestic fixtures over the weekend, their injury list continues to expand.

Injury Concerns and Suspensions
Defender Joe Gomez and midfielder Tyler Morton remain unavailable as they recover from surgeriesāGomez for a hamstring issue and Morton for a shoulder injury. Meanwhile, full-back Conor Bradley is also ruled out for the coming weeks after sustaining a hamstring injury during last monthās match against Aston Villa.
In addition to these injury setbacks, young defender Amara Nallo will be absent due to suspension. The 18-year-old received a red card during his debut against PSV Eindhoven in January, making him ineligible for the round-of-16 encounter. However, given his limited involvement in the senior squad, his suspension is unlikely to affect Arne Slotās tactical decisions.

Disciplinary Risks for Key Players
Liverpool must also be cautious regarding potential suspensions, as four playersā Ibrahima KonatĆ©, Andy Robertson, Harvey Elliott, and Alexis Mac Allisterāare one booking away from missing the second leg at Anfield. Mac Allister, who has already served a suspension in this tournament, will face another ban if he picks up a fourth yellow card.
Furthermore, Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch, Luis DĆaz, Kostas Tsimikas, and Darwin NĆŗƱez each have one booking. If any of them accumulate two more before the quarter-finals, they will also face suspension.

Coaching Staff Still Eligible for Champions League Duties
Despite the squadās availability concerns, Liverpoolās coaching staff will be on the sidelines in Paris. Arne Slot and his assistant, Sipke Hulshoff, are currently serving a two-game suspension in the Premier League due to their actions in last monthās controversial 2-2 draw against Everton. However, their ban does not apply to Champions League matches, meaning they will be in charge at the Parc des Princes.
