APL: Chelsea V Liverpool. 9 injury problems revealed

Chelsea will face off against Liverpool on Saturday in the Premier League. Between the two clubs, Chelsea and Liverpool have nine injury issues to sweat over before the weekend’s clash. Christensen has barely been used by Sarri this season. And the Dane could now be out of action after he limped out of Wednesday’s win at Liverpool. David Luiz replaced the injured centre-half in the 73rd minute.

Chelsea already had an injury problem over Antonio Rudiger, after the German defender was injured last weekend against West Ham. Sticking with Chelsea’s injury problems, Ruben Loftus-Cheek is sidelined with a calf issue. Pedro has been nursing a shoulder injury, while fringe player Marco van Ginkel is a long-term absentee with an ACL setback. Switching to Liverpool, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain remains a long-term absentee after knee surgery. Divock Origi and Adam Lallana are closing in on returns after knocks, while there are doubts over Virgil van Dijk after he picked up a knock last weekend against Southampton.
