Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Arsenal

Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final with Arsenal.

Liverpool are scheduled to return to action on Thursday evening when they square off against Arsenal in the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final.

Arsenal's selection issues means that this game is currently uncertain to go ahead, but Jurgen Klopp is also having to deal with plenty of problems in the treatment room.
