Liverpool Vs AC Milan Team News

The biggest news to come out of Anfield is about promising youngster Harvey Elliott. The 18-year-old had to be stretched off from the field at Elland Road on Sunday after a challenge from Leeds defender Pascal Struijk saw Elliot struck with an ankle injury. Due to that, the club has announced that Elliot will undergo surgery in the coming days and will later provide an update on his availability.

Apart from that, the Reds might also be without the services of Roberto Firmino because a hamstring injury saw him being ruled out of their weekend clash against Leeds.

Currently, there aren't any injury concerns for Milan as the squad looks balanced and ready to take on the Reds. And to make matters all the more interesting, Olivier Giroud has tested negative for Covid-19 and could be available in line for selection for Liverpool. However, he faces tough competition from the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ante Rebic and Rafael Leao. As a result, Milan looks equipped to take on Liverpool.
