Thiago Alcantara
Thiago suffered a muscle injury when he made his first appearance of the 2023-24 season as a substitute in the defeat away to Arsenal on 4 February.
“Obviously it's not good for Thiago,” Jurgen Klopp said on February 9. “Everything looked great in practice. We revealed a lot of things on LFCTV I think, so you can see the training rhythm. And it looks great until you think about it.” Go ahead, take him, we have a chance, give him a few minutes and then…”
“It's a muscular problem. We still don't know how long it will last. We have to wait a little bit. But it's definitely not good at all. “This is not good news for him, for us, for everyone. The only thing left is that we lost the game. Meeting in this way is not a good thing.
“Yes (I expect he will play again this season) but we haven't really thought about it. At this time we're just treating the injury. Evaluating it fully and you have to know for sure that it's more than that. It's not serious. And things like that so it's Different story.”
“It's just normal procedure. It wouldn't be a big deal if he didn't rest for a long time. It is. The injury wasn't serious at all, of course not, but it was clearly something no one wanted.”
Trent Alexander-Arnold
Alexander-Arnold suffered a knee injury during Liverpool's win over Burnley on February 10 and the Carabao Cup semi-final, and assistant manager Laert Pippins Lijnders has confirmed he will rest until after the March international break.
Stefan Pajitic
Pajcetic missed most of the matches this season due to fitness problems.
Klopp said on February 27: “He's obviously fit now… He hasn't given us the green light yet to train as a team.”
He added: “He has no injuries and no pain at all, which is of course the most important thing. Everything we check like the bone rescan looks great. Everything is no problem at all. He just does what he wants.”
Alisson Becker
The goalkeeper will be sidelined until after the March international break. This is due to muscle injuries received during training.
Ben Doc
The young striker will be out of action for some time after suffering a knee injury. While playing for the Reds U-21 team
“It's not good,” Pepijn Lijnders said on December 19. “He tore the collateral ligament in his knee. This requires surgery. It will take a long time. He is young and a fit man. He is an optimistic person. So he will definitely come back stronger. And we want him to come back with the same enthusiasm as He played football with him. He can also take advantage of the time he has. We will wait for him.
Wataru Endo
Endo suffered the injury during Liverpool's victory over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final.
“Wataru had a tough fight too,” Klopp said on February 27. “We'll have to wait and see as well. I wouldn't say the situation has improved much since Sunday. But it is that way.”
Ryan Grafenberg
Grafenberg injured his ankle during Liverpool's victory over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final. Of course, he will miss the FA Cup match with Southampton. The Premier League match away to Nottingham Forest on March 2
“It was a ligament injury,” Klopp said on February 27. “It could be worse but it's bad enough that he missed this game and the next one, we'll see, we need a miracle with a couple of players. That's why I don't want to write them off for a long time.
Curtis Jones
The midfielder sprained his ankle during Liverpool's win away to Brentford on February 17, and the Naiders confirmed ahead of the Carabao Cup final that Jones would be fit again. 'About the national team's break. (He walks)'
Diogo Jota
Jota will be sidelined due to a knee injury he suffered against Brentford.
“Then we have Diogo who has a problem where he is no longer eligible,” Klopp said on February 20.
“With Diogo, it's obviously going to take several months. It depends on the injury as well. So it's like you're having a big day. Day five, day ten, they're always important days for re-diagnosis. Because no one responds in the same way.” “The way. It depends on the level of pain they're still in. And things like that.”
“I couldn't give a time frame even if I wanted to. That's how it happens. When you don't have those players ready to play. It also makes sense to say: 'Well, they won't come back first…'
Joel Matip
The centre-back injured his cruciate ligament during a tackle in the second half of Liverpool's win over Fulham on December 3.
Matip required surgery and was subsequently successful and will undergo further physiotherapy at the AXA Training Centre, with no recovery timetable set.
Darwin Nunez
Nunez missed Liverpool's victories over Luton Town and Chelsea after being substituted in the first half against Brentford.
“It's evenly matched (for the Southampton game) with a lot of players,” Klopp said on February 27. “However, for the players (not) ready to play in the final, like Darwin, Mo and Dom, we have to see what they can do today.
Mohamed Salah
Salah missed the victories over Luton Town and Chelsea after returning from a muscle problem against Brentford.
“It's evenly matched (for the Southampton game) with a lot of players,” Klopp said on February 27. “However, for the players (not) ready to play in the final, like Darwin, Mo and Dom, we have to see what they can do today.
Dominik Szoboszlai
Szoboszlai has not played since January 31 due to a hamstring injury.
“It's evenly matched (for the Southampton game) with a lot of players,” Klopp said on February 27. “However, for the players (not) ready to play in the final, like Darwin, Mo and Dom, we have to see what they can do today.
