Liverpool secured a memorable 1-0 Champions League triumph over Real Madrid at Anfield on Tuesday.
Alexis Mac Allister netted the decisive strike, guaranteeing Trent Alexander-Arnold's homecoming concluded in disappointment. Alexander-Arnold, now of Madrid, was booed by Liverpool fans after his mural on Merseyside was defaced earlier in the day.
Curtis Jones was the sole player to emerge from the medical room, having been absent from Liverpool's previous two fixtures due to a groin problem. The result maintains the Reds' pursuit of a top-eight placement and automatic progression to the knockout stages. Up next is a journey to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday to tackle Manchester City, with merely one point dividing the teams.
Arne Slot continues to navigate multiple fitness worries but remains optimistic that at least one or two players might return. Here's the latest injury report from Anfield...
Alexander Isak
Injury: Groin
The Sweden international has been sidelined for Liverpool's previous four fixtures after picking up the problem during last month's Champions League triumph against Eintracht Frankfurt. Yet Isak is back in the Sweden squad for this month's internationals, which suggests he's not far away from full fitness.
"With Alex, we have to wait and see," said Slot when asked about Isak's fitness. "Definitely not starting on Sunday, but maybe he can be involved in the squad."
Potential return date: November 9 (A) - Manchester City
Jeremie Frimpong
Injury: Hamstring
Frimpong also picked up a muscle injury in the win against Frankfurt and hasn't played since. "Jeremie and Alisson will both also not be available for Sunday," Slot confirmed.
Potential return date: November 22 (H) - Nottingham Forest
Alisson Becker
Injury: Hamstring
Alisson hasn't featured since suffering a hamstring injury against Galatasaray nearly two months ago.
Potential return date: November 22 (H) - Nottingham Forest
Giovanni Leoni
Injury: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)
Leoni won't play again in 2025 and is unlikely to feature before the end of the season due to the severity of his injury. "He is not in a good place because he tore his ACL, which means he will be out around a year," said Slot.
"Being so young and coming to a new country and playing so well in your first game, it's very hard to take the positives. But you try to look at that, and that is that he is still so young, and he has so many years still to go after he recovers."
Potential return date: Pre-season 2026
