"Alexander-Arnold is not injured. Matip, I believe that he's going to play. Fabinho is not injured. Robertson is not injured. Henderson is not injured. Wijnaldum is not injured. Salah is not injured, Firmino is not injured, Mane is not injured.
"Van Dijk is injured and Van Dijk is a very good player of course. But give me Liverpool list of injuries and compared that list with what is the best Liverpool team.
"I can give you a list of ten injuries at Tottenham. We have two kids of the Under-16s with injuries, we have two others in the Under-21s and two in the Under-23s, We have Lamela and Tanganga.
"And here is a list of ten players. But is Lloris injured? No. Alderweireld injured? No. Dier injured? No. Reguilon injured no? Harry Kane injured? No. Son injured? No. Lucas injured? No.
"So where are the injuries? Injuries are normal. James Milner is injured, Lamela is injured. You know. Every club has injuries now and again. Liverpool has a big injury. Which is Van Dijk."
This is a blatantly disingenuous take from Jose Mourinho, leaving out injuries to key players like Thiago, Joe Gomez and Diogo Jota.
Mourinho has always been a master of manipulating the media and it is unsurprising that he is trying to play down Liverpool's injury problems.
