Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Arsenal

Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the Premier League fixture with Arsenal on April 4.

Fallen champions Liverpool return to action on Saturday night with a Premier League trip to Arsenal.

The Reds have had a welcome three-week break since their most recent outing - a 1-0 win away at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

That victory moved Jurgen Klopp's men up to seventh in the table, five points adrift of Chelsea in fourth place.

After a lengthy hiatus for his side, Klopp will be hoping that a number of players have recovered from injury in time for this clash at the Emirates Stadium.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest in the capital.

Skipper Jordan Henderson injured his groin in the Merseyside derby defeat to Everton last month and had to undergo surgery. England boss Gareth Southgate indicated last week that the midfielder is in a race against time to play again this season.
