Liverpool vs. Chelsea: May 9, 2026

James (undisclosed) is out for Tuesday's match against Leeds United.

Cucurella subbed off after the first 45 minutes of Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Leeds United and was later mentioned by coach Liam Rosenior, who said "Unfortunately, at half-time, he felt his hamstring. It wasn't a tactical change. It was one that was enforced and Cucu's been top and hopefully he'll be OK. We'll scan him and make sure we find out if he's available for the next game.", Bobby Vincent of Football London reports.

Gomez (hip) is expected to resume team training on Tuesday for the first time and is a late fitness call for Wednesday's clash against Sunderland, coach Arne Slot said in the press conference. "Joe has not trained with us yet. I'm expecting him to train with us for the first time. Indeed, if Joe is not ready to start then we are missing four players who have played in that position."

Ekitike had three shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Manchester City.
