Injury has struck owners of key Liverpool assets again as Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) is absent from the matchday squad in Double Gameweek 29.

Jurgen Klopp revealed prior to kick-off that the Scottish international had picked up a slight issue in the week.

“Robertson would have started today but then he felt [something] slightly. But it’s all good, it will be fine for Wednesday. But not for today. We didn’t want to have him on the bench and see Robbo and think, ‘Maybe we can bring you [on].’ It wouldn’t make sense today. That’s the reason and he will be fine.” – Jurgen Klopp

With Bournemouth coming to Anfield, James Milner (£5.3m) has been selected in his place, taking up the left-back berth.

More frustrating for Robertson’s 20.7% ownership is the fact that most other defensive assets are in place for this lunch-time meeting.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.8m) retains his place on the right-hand side of defence while Joe Gomez (£5.3m) returns alongside Virgil van Dijk (£6.6m) at centre-back.

However, owners of Liverpool assets knew they were coming into this weekend with some doubts over their clean sheet potential in light of a recent injury to Alisson Becker (£6.2m).

Klopp revealed that the Brazilian had sustained a hip muscle injury in training this week, paving the way for Adrian (£4.0m) to come back into the team.

Liverpool kept just two clean sheets in the 10 league matches that the former West Ham man was the custodian for.

Thankfully, Mohamed Salah (£12.8m), Sadio Mané (£12.4m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.6m) lead the line for Liverpool.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth arrive at Anfield with some issues of their own, Josh King (£6.1m) missing the game with a hamstring problem.

That sees Junior Stanislas (£5.9m) come in to play on the left flank of a front-three, which also features Callum Wilson (£7.4m) and Ryan Fraser (£6.8m).

Liverpool XI: Adrian; Milner, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

Bournemouth XI: Ramsdale; A Smith, Aké, S Cook, Stacey; Billing, Lerma, L Cook; Stanislas, C Wilson, Fraser.

    Feck all you guys who told me not to do VVD > Doherty for a hit.

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 23 days ago

      Doherty may score an OG.

    2. Regin
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 23 days ago

      u r the one who decided

    3. sunzip14

      This will be the week Dunk gets 15 and Brighton CS. I sold Ryan finally and bought Patricio 😀

  2. Chucky
    • 12 Years

    JUSTICE for Robbo owners 😀

  3. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    No Alisson in goal too, time to forget double LIV defense.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 23 days ago

      Keeping TAA for his attacking threat.

  4. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    Robbo owners win. If my ML leaders luck is to go by, Alonso will haul.

  5. reo19uk

    wow not the start to the GW everyone expected!

  6. Taffer
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    How is that not a foul -- what's the point of VAR?? So obvious.

      Contact sport innit.

      1. Lukakuna
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 23 days ago

        Push in the back not allowed is it?

    2. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 23 days ago

      Agree. Happy though, only own TAA and Salah

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 23 days ago

      Michael Oliver

  7. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    2. Regin
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 23 days ago

    3. Naboo
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 23 days ago

      Only if you're FHing 31, which I think is not going to make the most of that chip im most situations, but always depends on your team

  9. It's Fergie Time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    I have Alisson and Robbo....nice that they aren't playing

  10. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    Wilson essential for blank

  11. Vlad Tepes
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    there was no offside, still surprised Gomez did not get a freekick because Wilson pushed him in the back

  12. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    Are Liverpool breaking down completely now?

    1. Regin
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 23 days ago

      if they fail to beat atl madrid by 2 goals, i reckon their season will be a failure

  13. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    Scenes if Liverpool bottle the league.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 23 days ago

      that would be amusing

  14. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    What the absolute f***?!!!

    Any other team would have had a favourable VAR decision.

  15. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    No Robbo, no clean.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 23 days ago

      no Allison

  16. BIG TONES
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    Went triple Liverpool defence on free hit. Lol @ me

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 23 days ago

      Why?

      1. BIG TONES
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 23 days ago

        Because I thought I would get lots of points from it

        1. FPL Pillars
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 23 days ago

          No Alison or Robbo though. Hard luck I hope the other 8 work it well mate

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Bournemouth going for a second

  18. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    What are the odds on Leicester winning the league?

    1. Regin
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 23 days ago

      the odds on anybody other than liverpool winning the league is 0.00%

  19. jtreble
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    Yet another VAR failure. Crazy.

  20. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    Terrible start of the GW. VVD to Alonso?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 23 days ago

      Yep. Right now before the price rise.

  21. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    Steve McManaman is an embarrassment

    Sums up Self Pity City with all his crying

    1. Fudgy
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 23 days ago

      Insane punt gg mate

  22. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    Should have brought in Doherty

  23. Lukakuna
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    The ref surely would have blown his whistle if it hadn't been for VAR. What's the point anymore?

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 23 days ago

      How do you know that for sure?

      1. Lukakuna
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 23 days ago

        I'm the ref

  24. diesel001

    Liverpool need to score before half-time. Bournemouth will gain a lot of strength from not conceding in the first half.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 23 days ago

      We have Sherlock Holmes over here.

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    steve mcmanaman is so biased

  26. Mo Salah No Mane
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    Where are the LiVARpool comments now?

    1. Fudgy
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 23 days ago

      ? It's never a foul

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 23 days ago

        Lol it’s definitely a foul, he’s used his arm to push him in the back

  27. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    Wilson bandwagon incoming

  28. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 23 days ago

    On VAR , Michael Oliver.

    That explains it.

  29. g40steve

    So losing Robbo for Alonso looking a good move now ?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 23 days ago

      I reckon Everton score against us, but at least Alonso could fire back.

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 23 days ago

        That’s the idea, three recent goals?
