Concerning updates of Alisson, Curtis Jones, and Diogo Jota’s injuries for Liverpool

For the Carabao Cup final, Liverpool will be without Diogo Jota, Curtis Jones, and Alisson. Journalists will be updating the injury report.

After the 4-1 victory over Brentford, the Reds’ injury situation is becoming dire as two more players are out.

After being ejected from the game, Jones and Jota are now expected to miss Sunday’s Carabao Cup final, according to numerous reports.

Following preliminary scans for issues with the ankle and knee, respectively, Liverpool is reportedly “awaiting further tests before determining exactly how much time the duo will be [out],” according to Chris Bascombe of the Telegraph.

Jones and Jota are likely to be out for a long time, so it is not surprising that they will miss the final, which matches Liverpool against Chelsea.

According to the Portuguese publication Record, Jota’s ligament damage will keep him out of action for almost two months.

Alisson’s ability to heal from a hamstring issue in time for the March international break has been questioned.

The goalkeeper may have to play in a “race against time” to make appearances against teams like Man City (March 10) and Everton (March 17), according to Bascombe and Paul Joyce of the Times. He may miss an additional six games.

Dominik Szoboszlai (hamstring) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee) were already unlikely to make it to the championship game, and Thiago (hamstring) is once more a long-term absentee.

Ben Doak (MCL), Joel Matip (ACL), and Stefan Bajcetic (calf) are also sidelined with injuries, and Darwin Nunez was substituted at halftime against Brentford because of a muscular problem.

Nunez and Mohamed Salah have not been updated as of yet, despite rumours in his home country of Egypt that he would miss Wednesday night’s match against Luton.

Report: Xabi Alonso response to Liverpool job after contact made

Xabi Alonso, a legend of Liverpool, has been linked to a return to Anfield ever since Jurgen Klopp made his departure known.

According to reports, Liverpool has gotten in touch with Xabi Alonso to gauge his interest in succeeding Jurgen Klopp after the German retires this summer.

The French publication Foot Mercato has confirmed this, chasing rumours that linked the Bayer Leverkusen manager to a reunion with his old team nearly as soon as Klopp declared his choice last month.

During his time at Anfield, Alonso was a hugely popular player. Under Rafa Benitez, his elegant midfield stylings were crucial to their victories in the 2005 Champions League, the 2006 FA Cup, and their most convincing Premier League run to date, which ended in a narrow loss to Manchester United in 2009.

After leaving the team that summer, Alonso spent his last seasons at Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. He then turned to coaching, beginning his managerial career with Real Sociedad B until joining Leverkusen in 2022.

The former Spanish international is currently leading the team to their first-ever Bundesliga championship after doing admirably in the role. After defeating Bayern of second place 3-0 on Saturday, Leverkusen leads the table by five points with 13 games remaining and an undefeated record.

It makes sense, then, that Alonso has played coy about the speculations that he is interested in joining Liverpool, stating only that he is content with his current position and committed to finishing the task at hand.

In Foot Mercato’s reporting, that position has been reaffirmed without specific quotations, implying that they have independently investigated the matter.

Although Liverpool leads the table by just two points above Manchester City and Arsenal—the latter of which has a game in hand—Jurgen Klopp is hoping to end his career on a high note.

Next weekend, Liverpool will play Chelsea in the League Cup final at Wembley before taking on Southampton in the FA Cup fifth round. Next Friday, they will also find out who their opponents are in the Europa League round of 16.
