Liverpool return to Europa League action on April 18 at the Gewiss Stadium for the second of two quarter-final ties vs Atalanta.

Liverpool injury news & betting tips vs Atalanta
Here is the latest Liverpool injury news ahead of their upcoming meeting with Atalanta.
Thiago, Ben Doak and Joel Matip have all been ruled out of Thursday evening’s meeting.
Midfielder Stefan Bajcetic featured for Liverpool’s under-21 side last Friday but is still not fit enough to start for the senior side as he recovers from a long-term issue.
On a more positive note, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota and Alisson all made their return from injury against Crystal Palace on Sunday, and should be in contention to start the second leg.
After Liverpool failed to find the net with 70 per cent possession and 21 attempts on goal vs Palace, Jurgen Klopp is expected to freshen up his front line by starting the recently returned Diogo Jota vs Atalanta. Back Jota to score anytime vs Atalanta at 7/5.
