Overview
- Calum McFarlane confirmed Thursday that goalkeeper Robert Sanchez will miss Liverpool under concussion protocols after a head cut against Nottingham Forest.
- Filip Jorgensen, who returned to the squad and replaced Sanchez on Monday, is expected to start in goal at Anfield.
- Wingers Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho are unlikely to feature because knocks picked up recently have not cleared this week.
- Teenage forward Jesse Derry, stretchered off against Forest with a head injury, will miss the rest of the season, though McFarlane said early signs are positive.
- Reece James and Levi Colwill trained fully this week and are in contention to play in Saturday’s 12:30 BST trip to Anfield, where Chelsea seek to end a run of six straight league defeats.
