Liverpool XI vs Inter Milan: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Champions League today | OneFootball

Mohamed Salah left out by Arne Slot with Cody Gakpo also not making San Siro trip

Liverpool will be without Mohamed Salah when they travel to face Inter Milan in the Champions League tonight.

Following a dramatic 3-3 draw with Leeds at the weekend - the third Premier League game in a row for which Salah was named on the bench - the Egypt international made headlines with an incendiary post-match interview.

Salah’s absence is likely to mean that Dominik Szoboszlai continues on the right flank, with Florian Wirtz operating in his favoured No10 role.

There will, however, be an enforced change on the left as Cody Gakpo has also been left on Merseyside having missed training on Monday morning along with an ill Federico Chiesa and Wataru Endo.

The Dutchman is set for an extended spell on the sidelines after sustaining an injury against Leeds but Slot has said that Chiesa could yet join up with the squad on Tuesday.

After netting a brace at Elland Road, Hugo Ekitike is expected to keep his place in the team. However, the Frenchman could be shifted out wide to accommodate Alexander Isak through the middle.

Slot may opt to restore Joe Gomez at right-back, replacing Conor Bradley who returned from injury against Leeds. On the opposite flank, Milos Kerkez may make way for Andy Robertson.

Predicted Liverpool XI: Alisson; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Ekitike; Isak

Injured: Frimpong, Leoni, Gakpo

Doubt: Chiesa

Unavailable: Endo
