Okay, let’s shuffle things up a bit here. So, Liverpool’s got these two players, um, recovering or something. Injuries, yeah? You know, it’s like life is all set to throw some curveballs just when you’re getting ready to defend that Premier League title — bam, right?
Anyway — wait, I’ve totally lost my train of thought — oh, right. So, Arne Slot’s guys are kicking off with Bournemouth. Crystal Palace did them dirty last weekend, took them down on penalties in the Community Shield. Ryan Gravenberch missed out ’cause, surprise, he’s a dad now. Cool timing, huh? But he’s suspended for another game anyway. Classic twist of fate.
Oh, and there’s Joe Gomez and James McConnell. They decided to join the training party at the AXA Centre on Wednesday. Joe’s been out with his Achilles throwing a tantrum, kinda like when your internet dies midway through a crucial Zoom call. Annoying. James had some ankle thing going on — like, dude can’t catch a break. But now he’s back with the team!
Random thought, but their official site had these pics of Gomez working out, looking like he’s been missing those gym vibes or whatever. Honest moment, sometimes those gym shots are just a thing people do to motivate themselves, you know?
Anyway — and here comes the kicker — they might not play on Friday. Bummer, yeah? But seeing them back on the field is giving everyone hope. You know how it is. Big clubs always chasing after that depth. Bringing in folks like Marc Guehi or Giovanni Leoni could switch up the vibe big time.
Let’s talk McConnell for a sec. Man, that kid might just get shipped out on loan. Classic move when there’s waaay too much competition on home turf. I mean, Liverpool’s gonna have a crazy season, maybe 50 or even 60 games. It’s like a never-ending Netflix series — you gotta keep everyone fresh and ready to jump in.
Okay, circling back — or jumping forward, I don’t even know. Gravenberch is playing the waiting game with his suspension and when he’s back, the midfield’s gonna be lit. But poor McConnell, it’s hard seeing him breaking into the squad lineup. Just too crowded. Life, huh? Always throwing in those wild bits.
