Liverpool’s Missing Stars a Month Before Christmas!…

Liverpool FC is preparing for the Merseyside Derby with more drama than a daytime soap! To say they’re missing a few key players is like saying the Beatles were just a cover band from Liverpool. Our latest episode features key stars AWOL due to injuries that have everyone at Anfield contemplating their team selection in hushed tones.

First up, our leading man Trent Alexander-Arnold has limped off too mysteriously to Paris with an ankle injury, leaving fans clutching their scarves in despair. Then there’s Ryan Gravenberch, who decided a Netherlands squad call-up was just too much of a full dance card with his injury from the Carabao Cup’s twist ending against Newcastle. And poor Alisson, who’s taken a Colombian knock to the noggin, is back home because he didn’t want that headache from Argentinian strikers.

With Alisson on medical leave, stand-in keeper Caoimhin Kelleher is getting another shot at stardom while Jarell Quansah steps in as the latest unexpected hero on the right. Slot’s got his script in hand and has penciled in the smiths of Mac Allister and Szoboszlai to hold midfield together. Fan-favorite Salah, Gakpo, and Jota are all eager to take center stage up front, making sure this derby is anything but a silent movie!
