Liverpool will be missing at least four players for their Wednesday night clash against PSG.

Despite not playing this weekend, the Reds’ injury list continues to grow ahead of their return to action.

Joe Gomez and Tyler Morton are both out long-term after undergoing surgery for hamstring and shoulder injuries respectively. Conor Bradley is also sidelined for several weeks following a hamstring injury sustained last month against Aston Villa.

Additionally, Liverpool will be without Amara Nallo for their Champions League round-of-16 tie due to a suspension incurred during his debut against PSV Eindhoven in January. While the teenager was unlikely to play in Paris, his absence doesn’t alleviate Arne Slot’s selection concerns.

The Reds are also dealing with disciplinary issues as they aim to advance in the Champions League, with four players at risk of suspension for the second leg of the round-of-16 at Anfield.

Ibrahima Konate, Andy Robertson and Harvey Elliott have all been booked twice in this year’s Champions League and are one yellow card away from a one-game ban.

Alexis Mac Allister, who has already served a one-game ban in the league phase, is also at risk of an additional suspension. The Argentina international has been shown the yellow card four times so far in this season’s competitions, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Players are handed a one-match ban after accumulating three yellow cards that did not result in a red card, as well as after any subsequent odd-numbered caution.

With yellow cards not expiring until the end of the quarter-finals, these players have four matches to survive if they want to avoid a ban.

Meanwhile, Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch, Luis Diaz, Kostas Tsimikas and Darwin Nunez have all received one booking in the Champions League this season, so would all face a ban if booked twice more before the quarter-finals conclude.

While several Liverpool players are on a disciplinary tightrope, the Reds will be relieved to welcome both Slot and assistant head coach Sipke Hulshoff back to the dugout in Paris.

Both are halfway through serving a two-game touchline ban in the Premier League after being charged for their behaviour towards officials following Liverpool’s contentious 2-2 draw with Everton last month, but are free to return to the sidelines for Champions League duty.
