Hello everyone, welcome to Red Men TV, Red Men By Tar's podcast, and my name's Steeho. It is Friday the 27th of February. Hope you're all doing well. I'm here to bring you the latest Libbyle news. And actually, there's plenty of it because not only has there been a pretty much press conference ahead of Lipville's game against West Ham with some injury news and some good and bad on that front unfortunately

there's also been the Champions League draw the Liverpool have officially announced their

account for last year so yeah busy busy shows while Marvell get straight into it Liverpool have

been drawn then against Galatasarai in the last 16 of the Champions League a chance maybe

for the Reds to get some revenge for that defeat in Istanbul a few weeks ago.

Lipul were drawn on the silver side of the draw, the silver path, I think it's called, actually,

and it is a very, very tough path indeed on that side of the draw.

So effectively, Le Poole will play Galatas right in the last 16.

If they get through that, waiting in the quarterfinals will be one of Arnest Lach's favourite team,

PSG or Chelsea.

And then if they somehow manage to get free, both of those, like I say, they're more than capable of doing.

So semi-final potential opponents, you've got Real Madrid, Manchester City, at Atlanta, and Bayern Munich. Compared, by the way, to the other side of the draw, where you've got Newcastle, Barcelona, Avalekovietta govietta got Thottenham, both the Glimp versus Sporting, and then Leverkusen versus Arsenal. So as it stands, I feel like Arsenal will probably be the happiest of the draw so far. They get Leverkusen, and then they get the winner of Sporting and Bodo, but for the potential semi-final against Newcastle, Barst, at Lettico or Spares. So the blue side feels like the easier side. You know, shock, horror, someone gets rewarded for the winning the group stage or the league phase for once. Liverpool's results after finishing fourth, of course, then on the silver side. Yeah, so Galatas, like first and foremost, and then get through that. And then see what happens. You'll end up with either PSG or Chelsea. So that is the Champions League draw in a nutshell.

Yeah, Liverpool will be at home in the second leg.

So they'll be away in Istanbul in a few weeks' time.

I think game is likely to be Tuesday, the 10th,

but that will be confirmed very, very shortly.

Let's move on away from the Champions League draw then. Let's talk about Arnus Lott and is pretty much press conference ahead of the game against West Ham tomorrow at Anfield. Biggest talking point, unfortunately, bad injury news. Florian Verde is not available for the game. He missed the game, obviously last weekend against Notting and Forrest.

Pulled out in the warm-up with a back issue.

Honest Slots said at the time, he didn't think it would be serious. There were hints suggesting that he might be available for the game tomorrow. But Arnold Slots ruled him out. Asked for a bit more on terms of return date. The last slot said, quote, at this moment in time, I don't know. usually when I say that I I do know, but I just don't want to share that. But this time, I honestly don't know. So Florian Berser got this back issue and again, no time frame on a return. Obviously, a little bit more serious than Lippool first hoped than thought. So he's not going to be available for the game this weekend. And then we're going to have to wait and see really on that front whether he's going to be back and available because Liverpool's got a tight turn around then in terms of fixtures. If he's not available to even be on the bench on Saturday, does that mean he's going to be available for Wolves away on the Tuesday? And then again, wolves away on the Friday. Don't know. We'll find out in due course. We have no virt for the game against West Ham the good news on the injury front uh to do flip perverse is that jemmy frimpong is back in full training he is available for selection if honest lot of them are using either

right back or on the right hand side of the attack so that is good news frimpong's been out

for a short while now obviously he had another muscle injury which is unfortunate at the time when he got it, of course. Yeah, it looked a bad one, but Lippoole, unf thankfully, soon kind of released that it wasn't too bad. So yeah, Jeremy Flimpong will be available. I think he missed five games in all competitions. But yeah, Hamstring, okay, he's back in training. He's been, I think he missed five games in all competitions.

But yeah, Hamstring, okay, he's back in training.
