Szoboszlai, Gakpo and Isak are not playing for Liverpool today against LASK due to injuries suffered during the international break. The Hungarian star picked up a minor hamstring injury in Liverpool’s recent outing against Manchester City, prompting the manager to rest him as a precautionary measure.

According to Liverpool’s latest injury update, Gakpo is recovering from an ankle issue, while Isak is working through a thigh strain. Both forwards have been held out with an eye toward the club’s heavy upcoming slate.

Looking to bounce back from a crushing 4-0 Premier League defeat at the hands of Manchester City, Liverpool enters Austria determined to reset its momentum with a much needed victory.

Predicted lineup for Liverpool against LASK

With key starters unavailable, Liverpool will lean on its squad depth at the Raiffeisen Arena in Linz. Florian Wirtz, Bradley Barcola, and Alexis Mac Allister are expected to anchor the lineup as the Reds take on the Austrian outfit.

Here is Liverpool’s predicted XI for today’s Champions League clash:

• Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker
• Defenders: Jeremie Frimpong, Joe Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez
• Midfielders: Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Florian Wirtz
• Forwards: Lewis Koumas, Bradley Barcola, Rio Ngumoha

The stage is set for a compelling fixture in Linz. While Liverpool aims for a convincing performance to keep moving up the Champions League table, LASK will look to exploit the visitors’ depleted roster and pull off a signature home upset.

Key takeaways

• Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexander Isak, and Cody Gakpo are ruled out for Liverpool’s Champions League match against LASK.
• Liverpool enters Austria seeking to reset its momentum following a 4–0 Premier League defeat to Manchester City.
• Florian Wirtz, Bradley Barcola, and Alexis Mac Allister are expected to anchor Liverpool’s predicted starting XI.

LASK Linz appear as the least favorite team in this matchup for obvious reasons, so they must be dangerous on their home ground. They have a closer race with Union Saint-Gilloise and Toulouse to continue in the tournament.

Liverpool would prefer to be representing the club in the main European event for their potential, but they have to be in this one after a disappointing season. Their start in the league has them securing an almost perfect record of four victories in five matchups.
