Liverpool will be eager to maintain their impressive start under Arne Slot when they face Chelsea at the weekend in the Premier League.
Despite his excellent utilization of his team, the manager still doesn’t have all of his players at his disposal due to a few injury concerns.
Here, we examine the injured Liverpool players and the anticipated timeframe for their return to full health.
Alisson Becker:
The Brazilian goalkeeper sustained a nasty hamstring injury in Liverpool’s win over Crystal Palace before the break. He is now confirmed to be out until after the November international break and will miss the next few games.
Potential return date: Late November
Harvey Elliott:
The young midfielder picked up an injury in the September international break and his ankle still doesn’t seem to have fully healed. But he is nearing a return to fitness and should be back available soon.
Potential return date: Late October
Federico Chiesa:
The Italian winger sustained some kind of a problem in Liverpool training before the Crystal Palace game. But Slot insisted that he is not expected to be out for long with this problem.
Potential return date: Late October
Alexis Mac Allister:
Mac Allister picked up a minor knock in the Argentina national team camp and had to train apart from the squad. But he is not expected to be out for long or miss any key game time.
Potential return date: vs Chelsea (20 October)
Caoimhin Kelleher:
The Liverpool no.2 missed the Palace game because of a case of illness. He is expected to slot in for Alisson in the goalkeeper role for the matches after the October break.
Potential return date: vs Chelsea (20 October)
