# Leeds: Liam Cooper “another player” who could miss Liverpool

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) captain Liam Cooper is “another player” who could miss tonight’s trip to Liverpool, [Phil Hay](https://twitter.com/PhilHay_/status/1585610895643787264) reports.**

### The Lowdown: Cooper’s injury problems

Cooper has had his injury issues over the last 12 months, missing [16](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/liam-cooper/leistungsdaten/spieler/75067/plus/0?saison=2021) [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) fixtures during the 2021/22 season, mainly due to a hamstring problem.

The 31-year-old has already failed to feature in [six](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/liam-cooper/leistungsdaten/spieler/75067) top-flight games during the current campaign after enduring a [‘nightmare’](https://motleedsnews.com/news/liam-cooper-opens-up-on-nightmare-pre-season-and-injury-struggles-at-leeds-united/) pre-season where he suffered an off-season injury.

### The Latest: Liverpool doubt

Hay took to Twitter on Thursday afternoon to relay updates from Jesse Marsch’s pre-match press conference.

The reliable reporter [initially posted](https://twitter.com/PhilHay_/status/1585610267626536961) that Joe Gelhardt, Rodrigo, Luis Sinisterra, Tyler Adams and Leo Hjelde are all doubts, before stating in a [separate tweet](https://twitter.com/PhilHay_/status/1585610895643787264) that Cooper is ‘another player who might miss Anfield’ with a decision needed on his fitness.

### The Verdict: Couldn’t write it…

Leeds’ injury woes may have hit a season-high at a point where senior players like Cooper and Rodrigo are desperately needed in a bid to turn things around.

The club are without a Premier League win in eight, and you’d expect that is likely to stretch to nine with a daunting trip to Anfield.

Marsch could have up to eight first-team players out with Stuart Dallas and Adam Forshaw still sidelined, and a disappointing display this evening may only lead to more questions about the manager’s future ahead of the break for the World Cup.
