Liverpool's Injury List: A Look at the Unavailable Squad Members and Potential Return Dates

As Liverpool bounced back with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa in the Premier League, the Reds have several players sidelined due to injury. With a crucial Champions League match against Real Madrid and an away trip to Manchester City in the top flight next weekend, Liverpool will have to navigate their injury list carefully. Manager Arne Slot has provided updates on the fitness of key players, with Alexander Isak, Curtis Jones, and Alisson Becker all hoping to return before the November international break.

Key Takeaways:

• Alexander Isak has missed the last three matches with a groin injury and is yet to return to training. Slot expressed uncertainty about Isak's availability, stating that "things can go slower or faster" in the recovery process. Potential return date: November 22.
• Curtis Jones has been out for the last two matches with an injury and is yet to start training. Slot will provide an update on Jones' fitness ahead of the Real Madrid match. Potential return date: November 22.
• Jeremie Frimpong has been sidelined for the last three matches with a hamstring injury. Slot stated that Frimpong is "not in a good place" and will likely not return until after the international break. Potential return date: November 22.
• Alisson Becker suffered a hamstring injury last month and has missed six matches. While Slot remains uncertain about Alisson's return, a recent Instagram post from the goalkeeper suggests he is on the mend. Potential return date: November 22.
• Giovanni Leoni suffered an ACL injury on his debut against Southampton in the Carabao Cup and will be out for several months. Potential return date: Summer 2026.
• Ryan Gravenberch made his return from an ankle injury to score in the win over Villa, but the Reds have several other key players unavailable.
