Liverpool (England)
The 25-man squad for the UEFA Europa League group stage was announced, however, two key players, Nabikida and Alex Chamberlain, failed to make the squad due to injuries. Manager Gopp revealed that although they have recovered, they still have muscle problems and need to wait for the right time to recuperate. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano analyzed that their contracts will expire soon and their future destinations are unknown.
Gopp emphasized that Nabikida and Alex Chamberlain will need time to recover from their injuries and will not be able to play in the UEFA Europa League group stage, but if the team succeeds in advancing, they are expected to return in the knockout stage. As for the contractual issues, Romano believes that this may only be the tip of the iceberg, and the future of the two is still full of uncertainties.
It is reported that Nabikida was interested in leaving the team this summer, but Kopp still wants him to stay in the team as the key to the rotation. Although Chamberlain has been a non-starter, his contract expired this summer, coupled with injuries, the prospect of staying in the team does not seem optimistic.
