Liverpool Tweak Anfield XI as France Star Returns

Liverpool’s France forward has been passed fit to start today’s Premier League clash at Anfield, shaking off the cramp that forced him off in the second half of Wednesday’s win over Atletico Madrid.

Any fears of a lingering issue have been quickly put to bed. He leads the line again as Liverpool look to carry European momentum back into domestic action.

There are changes around him.

Ryan Gravenberch, Kostas Tsimikas and Victor Munoz are all drafted into the starting XI, with Milos Kerkez, Alexis Mac Allister and Rio Ngumoha making way. Fresh legs, different profiles, and a clear signal that the manager wants energy and balance against top-flight opposition.

On the bench, there’s another important name back in the frame. Cody Gakpo returns to the matchday squad after his recent fitness problem and is among the substitutes, giving Liverpool extra firepower if the game opens up late on.

Starting Line-Up

The Liverpool line-up at Anfield is:

• Alisson
• Van Dijk
• Jacquet
• Wirtz
• Szoboszlai
• Isak
• Tsimikas
• Munoz
• Barcola
• Araujo
• Gravenberch

With their French forward ready, reinforcements restored, and Anfield waiting, Liverpool have little excuse not to set the tempo.
