Liverpool vs Arsenal: 3 Reds Stars Miss Training Ahead of Anfield Cracker

• Mohamed Salah was among three Liverpool stars who missed training on Thursday ahead of their clash against Arsenal
• The trio are understood not to be injured, with reports suggesting they were given an off day to recover after their involvement against Chelsea earlier in the week
• The Arsenal cracker comes at a time the Reds are in dire need of a positive result to boost their top four-finish bid

Jurgen Klopp could miss the services of three key players ahead of Liverpool's Premier League cracker against Arsenal at Anfield.

The Reds are scheduled to host the Premier League leaders on Sunday, April 8, with the hopes of returning to winning ways, having dropped points in two of their most recent outings.

Liverpool have endured a disastrous campaign this season by their standards, with Klopp's men in danger of missing out on Champions League football next term.

Liverpool are currently placed eighth in the standings with just 43 points from 28 matches, with their most recent outing ending in a draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The Saturday clash against Arsenal will therefore be of great significance for Klopp's charges, even as they chase a European football spot for next season.

However, they are likely to be without three key players in their bid to earn a positive result against the Gunners.

According to Talksport, Mohamed Salah, Joe Gomez and Diogo Jota were all missing from the session on Thursday at Liverpool’s AXA Training Centre.

Whereas it remains unclear if they will play any role against Arsenal, Liverpool Echo reports the trio missed training after they were given a day off to recover following the draw away at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.

Ian Wright predicts Liverpool vs Arsenal

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Arsenal legend, Ian Wright, who has been vocal about his former team, spoke on the upcoming game and chose the league leaders as favourites to come out with a win.

"I think Arsenal have the energy and the capabilities to cause Liverpool problems. It’s a question of how long we can sustain it at Anfield because that’s not something we’ve done for a while there."

Wright said he could already sense the buzz surrounding the Reds vs Gunners game.
