Liverpool's preparations for their Premier League clash against Manchester United have been severely impacted as striker Alexander Isak will miss the match due to a groin strain sustained during training. This injury adds to a challenging season for Isak, who has struggled with fitness since his record transfer from Newcastle United for £125 million. With fellow striker Hugo Ekitike also out for the season following an Achilles rupture, Liverpool is left without a recognized senior striker. Coach Arne Slot may opt for a false nine formation, utilizing players such as Cody Gakpo, Federico Chiesa, or Florian Wirtz in the attacking role. Additionally, the team will be without Mohamed Salah, further complicating their offensive options. In light of these injuries, 18-year-old striker Will Wright, who has impressed in the U-21 ranks, has been training with the first team and could potentially make his Premier League debut.
