Liverpool Boss Reveals Why England U21 Striker Of Nigerian Descent Is Not In Contention Vs Bournemouth

Published: December 07, 2018

Dominic Solanke is not in contention to make his first Premier League appearance of the season when Liverpool face Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Reds are one of the two unbeaten teams in the English topflight after fifteen rounds but have done so without the 2017 FIFA U20 World Cup Golden Ball winner.

Manager Jürgen Klopp confirmed at the pre-match conference that Solanke will not be involved against the Cherries due to an undisclosed ailment.

''Clyney has been out for already two weeks, it’s nothing serious but he is not in training and not available as well, '' Klopp was quoted as saying by Liverpool's official website.

''Joe [Gomez] obviously, Oxlade, Rhian Brewster and Dom Solanke [are out]. But Dom is close; I really hope he will be in team training again from Sunday on. But we have to see.''

Former Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe was pictured training with Bournemouth's first team on Friday in their last workout ahead of tomorrow's game.
