Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp will be looking to get their season back on track when they take on Wolves at Anfield on Wednesday night.

Diaz and Thiago are expected to return to action in early to mid-March. Klopp hopes Nunez will be fit to play but it looks uncertain at this stage.

On Nunez’ injury, Klopp said: “Darwin, we’ll have to see. It’s the shoulder. It looked good yesterday, but some people will tell me how he reacts.

Konate could be set for a comeback against Wolves, but Joe Gomez and Arthur are likely to be out – Arthur lacks fitness while Joe Gomez continues to recover from his muscle injury.

Diaz and Thiago are expected to return to action in early to mid-March. Klopp hopes Nunez will be fit to play but it looks uncertain at this stage.

In their last Premier League game, Liverpool played out a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace. It was a poor performance from both sides – Liverpool failed to break through Palace’s low block while the Eagles failed to register a shot on goal in response.

Wolves, meanwhile, scored a point on the road against Fulham in their previous league game. They led through Pablo Sarabia in the first half but had to settle for a point when the Cottagers equalized through a strike from Manor Solomon.

The two teams met again on February 4, where Wolves won 3-0. Goals from Craig Dawson, Ruben Neves and an own goal from Joel Matip were enough to sink the Reds – can they fight back in the second leg?

Jude Bellingham was handed a new offer by Real Madrid after being asked to refuse Liverpool’s move

 

Jude Bellingham is at the center of a transfer battle with Real Madrid and Liverpool this summer as one of the most prominent clubs watching his situation with Dortmund

Real Madrid will evaluate the long-term futures of Luka Modric and Toni Kroos before committing to a move for Jude Bellingham, who has been asked to turn down a move to Liverpool.

Liverpool have credited interest in Bellingham on a number of occasions in the past, with Jurgen Klopp being a huge fan. Meanwhile, rivals Manchester City and Manchester United are also admirers, but it is Madrid who have emerged as favorites to sign him.

Bellingham’s starring role in England’s recent World Cup has led the Reds to intensify their interest in signing the midfielder, whose transfer rate continues to rise.

Klopp said of the Englishman: “Bellingham is just brilliant. He plays as mature as a 28-year-old player. Everyone already knew his skills, but I have no idea what that means for the money. He is very good, exceptional. He had an incredible World Cup.”

Klopp has admitted something needs to change at the Reds and is aiming for a summer makeover of the team, with a particular focus on the aging midfielder. The club missed out on signing Aurelien Tchouameni from Real Madrid last summer. Tchouameni became the latest addition to Los Blancos’ midfield to complete the acquisition of Eduardo Camavinga last year and the rise of Fede Valverde with the sale of Casemiro, as well as Modric and Kroos in the fall of their glorious career.

A report from Diario AS reveals that Madrid are unwilling to commit to a big swap for Bellingham who could set a world record for a midfielder unless they think at least one of Kroos or Modric will drastically reduce his must-have first team minutes.

Madrid are said to believe that a year later – if Bellingham is out of contract with Dortmund in 2025 – his transfer fee would go down.

With this, they could pay the midfielder a higher salary which would entice him to stay in the Bundesliga for another year.

The Frenchman believes United are now a more attractive offer for the midfield star thanks to his resurgence under Erik ten Hag. When Bellingham was asked about his future ahead of Dortmund’s Champions League clash with Manchester City earlier this season, the teenager explained: “The club have done a lot for me and made me feel very welcome since I arrived. and they gave me the opportunity to grow.
