Merino To Miss Brighton Game Through Injury

Merino to miss Brighton game through injury

Liverpool midfielder Carlos Merino will miss Saturday's Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion due to injury.

The Spaniard suffered the injury in training this week and will not be fit for the trip to the Amex Stadium.

The absence of Merino is a blow to Liverpool, who are already without a number of key players through injury.

Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, and Trent Alexander-Arnold are all long-term absentees, while Thiago Alcantara and Xherdan Shaqiri are also doubts for the Brighton game.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will be hoping that Merino can recover in time for the Champions League clash with Real Madrid on Tuesday.

However, the midfielder is likely to miss the Premier League games against Wolves and Manchester United in the coming weeks.

What does this mean for Liverpool?

Merino's injury is a blow to Liverpool's hopes of winning the Premier League title this season.

The Spaniard has been a key player for Liverpool in recent seasons and his absence will be keenly felt.

Liverpool will now have to rely on other players to step up in Merino's absence.

The likes of Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Curtis Jones will all be hoping to get more game time in the coming weeks.

Conclusion

Merino's injury is a setback for Liverpool, but it is not insurmountable.

The Reds have a strong squad and they will be confident of coping without the Spaniard for a few weeks.

However, Merino's absence will be a blow to Liverpool's hopes of winning the Premier League title this season.
