Due to injuries received by Diogo Jota and Alisson Becker during Saturday’s stalemate against Manchester City, Jurgen Klopp will have to wait to worry about their fitness.
Shortly after halftime at the Etihad, Luis Diaz took Jota’s position. Later in the game, as City sought for a winner, Alisson required medical attention; the Reds’ medical staff took care of him after the final whistle.
Prior to a hectic month of activity for Klopp’s team, the two may be added to the Anfield sidelines alongside Stefan Bajcetic, Andy Robertson, and Thiago Alcantara. Here are the most recent information and projected return dates for the Reds’ injured roster.
Alisson Becker
The Brazilian was spotted gripping his hamstring as he left the field at full time, and Klopp seemed to imply that the injury occurred following Saturday’s draw at the Etihad.
Expected return date: Unknown
Diogo Jota
Jota was one of the Reds’ traveling group that, like Alisson, left East Manchester with his fitness called into question.
Early in the second half, the Portugal international went down unmarked, holding a muscle, and Diaz replaced him quickly.
Jota may miss matches against LASK and Fulham as a result of scans he will receive at the AXA Training Centre this week while Liverpool continues to evaluate the severity of his problem.
Expected return date: Unkown
Andy Robertson
After dislocating his shoulder in October, Kostas Tsimikas, a Scotland international, is likely to fill in for Robertson at least through January.
Since colliding with Unai Simon during Scotland’s Euro 2024 qualifying match against Spain last month, the left-back has not appeared on the field for either club or nation.
Expected return date: January 2023
Thiago Alcantara
It is anticipated that Thiago will be able to play again in January. If his seven-month recuperation has taught him anything, it’s that injury recoveries almost never go as planned.
Since the Reds’ 2-1 victory over West Ham United in April, the Spaniard has not played for the team. It was determined that he would benefit from skipping the 2022–2023 season in order to return in time for the summer.
This hasn’t been the case for the Spaniard, who experienced a setback early in the new season after making a brief comeback to training in the summer.
Expected return date: January 2023
Stefan Bajcetic
Like Thiago, Bajcetic has struggled with injuries at Anfield, playing in just two games across all competitions.
The Spaniard first sustained an adductor injury in March, which has subsequently hindered his recovery. He is currently experiencing another setback.
Expected return date: Unknown
