**Liverpool, England** – Real Madrid will be severely hampered when they face Liverpool at Anfield on Thursday in a crucial UEFA Champions League clash. Star winger Vinicius Junior is out with a left leg injury sustained in a La Liga match. This blow comes as Real Madrid struggles in the Champions League, currently languishing in 21st place after two defeats in four games.

In contrast, Arsenal, currently topping the Premier League, enters the Champions League match with a strong showing – three wins in five games placing them seventh overall. A victory over Real Madrid could propel them to the top two alongside Inter Milan.

Real Madrid’s injury woes extend beyond Vinicius Junior, with Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, David Alaba, Rodrygo, and Aurelien Tchouameni also unavailable due to various injuries. Liverpool too will be without Federico Chiesa, while Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota are sidelined with hamstring and rib injuries respectively.

The match, kicking off at 1:30 AM IST on Thursday, November 28th, will be broadcast live on Sony Sports Ten 2 and 3 SD/HD channels in India, and streamed on Sony LIV. The anticipated lineup for Liverpool includes Caoimhin Kelleher in goal, while Real Madrid is expected to field Thibaut Courtois in goal.
