No new injury worries for MK Dons ahead of Liverpool tie

Posted Wednesday, September 25, 2019 by PA

MK Dons have no fresh injury concerns ahead of Wednesday’s Carabao Cup third-round tie at home against Liverpool.

Defender Baily Cargill (ankle) and midfielder Ben Reeves (leg) remain doubts.

Jordan Taylor-Moore has been making good progress in his recovery from a long-term knee injury, but it is thought the visit of the Champions League holders to Stadium MK comes too soon for his comeback.

Rhys Healey (thigh) is a definite absentee for the League One outfit, along with Joe Mason (hamstring).

Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita is fit to make his return to action having been sidelined for seven games by a groin problem.

Xherdan Shaqiri has sustained a small calf tear and joins Sadio Mane (knock), Divock Origi (ankle) and Alisson Becker (calf) in being unavailable.

The Reds’ starting line-up is expected to feature a considerable number of changes from Sunday’s 2-1 Premier League win at Chelsea, and there could be debuts for youngsters Rhian Brewster, Caoimhin Kelleher and Harvey Elliott.

Joe Gomez, Dejan Lovren, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Adam Lallana could all feature.
