Ahead of their Premier League match against Chelsea, Jurgen Klopp has given an update on Liverpool’s injuries.
On Wednesday night at Anfield, the Reds look to hang onto their five-point lead at the top of the table against Mauricio Pochettino’s team.
With the return of Dominik Szoboszlai (hamstring), Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee), and Andy Robertson (shoulder) in the 5-2 FA Cup victory over Norwich City, the injury list is beginning to look healthier.
Due to a knock, Alexis Mac Allister was unable to play against Norwich, although he has returned to training.
After undergoing hip surgery nine months ago, Thiago Alcantara has not seen on the pitch for Liverpool. However, he was seen returning to training last week. The midfielder appears “incredible,” according to Klopp, but he needs more time before being considered for a game.
Klopp said that “Macca should be well because he trained yesterday. After all these months, it was an amazing moment for Thiago to train and train at his level. However, he needs more time.
After Egypt’s elimination from the African Cup of Nations due to DR Congo, Mo Salah will not be returning. The competition caused a hamstring injury for Liverpool’s talisman, who had to return to Merseyside for medical attention.
Due to a broken collarbone, Kostas Tsimikas is still not present.
Joel Matip is still recovering from an ACL injury, and Stefan Bajcetic is still experiencing growing pains. Last month, Ben Doak underwent knee surgery.
