Liverpool could rest five players against Atalanta as they aim for a comeback
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool is currently in Italy with a 24-man squad, aiming to accomplish a highly challenging task. The team is looking to make an extraordinary comeback against Atalanta, who have a three-goal advantage from the first leg. This situation puts Liverpool on the verge of elimination.
In order to achieve this comeback, Klopp is expecting significant changes in the team’s lineup. Conor Bradley’s injury will force Trent Alexander-Arnold to fill in at right-back, while other adjustments are also anticipated. The team’s lackluster recent performances have emphasized the need for changes, with key players not meeting their usual standards.
Klopp’s squad has a mixture of experienced and young players, offering options for different strategies and formations. While facing the challenge of overturning a significant deficit, Klopp’s focus remains on securing a clean sheet and improving the team’s scoring efficiency. The possible starting XI for Liverpool against Atalanta includes Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, Robertson, Mac Allister, Elliott, Szoboszlai, Salah, Gakpo, and Diaz.
The team is also bolstered by a traveling squad filled with potential wildcard options from the reserves, presenting further options for Klopp to consider.
