Liverpool will be without five injured players, for the Fulham match.

Liverpool’s injury report, list of suspensions, and status prior to their Premier League match against Fulham on Sunday

When Liverpool hosts Fulham at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, they will be back in Premier League action.

The Reds enter the contest fresh off a convincing 4-0 victory over LASK on Thursday. For Jurgen Klopp’s team, Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, and double-scoring Cody Gakpo all found the net.

In the Premier League table, Liverpool is now two points adrift of league leaders Arsenal. In their most recent Premier League encounter, Manchester City held the Reds to a 1-1 draw.

The most recent information and anticipated return dates for Liverpool’s injured roster are included here, in advance of Sunday’s matchup with Marco Silva’s team.

Alisson Becker

Alisson is expected to miss five games, but he should be back for Manchester United’s visit on December 17. The Brazil international sustained a hamstring injury at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday during their match with Manchester City.

Reds manager Jurgen gave an update on Wednesday, saying: “Ali is a bit lesser, so we have to see.” Not day by day; he is unable to play on Sunday or tomorrow (Thursday).

“It should be alright the week after, probably not. Alisson is sufficiently awful, but not as awful as we initially believed. I’m not sure how much longer Diogo will take. Need to observe.”

Manchester United (H), Premier League, December 17 is the anticipated comeback date.

Diogo Jota

While Klopp appeared to be more upbeat on Jota, he did provide some optimism regarding Alisson. Regarding the forward’s health, the Reds manager stated: “We’re not sure how long Diogo will take, but he will take a little longer. We must observe.”

That implies that the forward, who has eight goals this season, might not play for Liverpool for the remainder of the year.

Anticipated date of return: Unknown

Andy Roberts

After dislocating his shoulder in October, Robertson is unlikely to play again until at least January, therefore Kostas Tsimikas will likely fill in for him. Since colliding with Unai Simon during Scotland’s Euro 2024 qualifying match against Spain, Robertson has not participated in any club or national team games.

Last week, the left-back gave an update on his health, saying, “It’s going well so far; it’s been three weeks since my operation. I simply need to approach things week by week and bit by bit. So far, everything has gone smoothly; hopefully, this will continue.”

Expected return Date: January 2023

Alcantara Thiago

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. However, Thiago has experienced a setback early in the new season after making a brief comeback to training in the summer.

In an interview with reporters last month, Klopp stated of the midfield player: “It’s an ongoing thing, and we cannot put any kind of pressure on.” We anticipate his return, which I believe will likely occur at the beginning of the New Year. It seems reasonable to try that.”

Expected return date: January 2023

Bajcetic Stefan

Like Thiago, Bajcetic has only made two appearances in all competitions due to a season marred by injuries.

The youthful Spaniard has experienced a setback in his recovery from an adductor injury that he sustained in March.

Speaking lately, Bajcetic stated: “I kind of anticipated that it would be the same because I had the same injury before, but on the other side, when I was experiencing discomfort. But I kept thinking, “I need to keep playing; it can’t be the same.”

However, I performed a scan. Unfairly, scans never fail to reveal something. When they called me while I was at home, they said I had a stress reaction. It was obviously a difficult moment, but I believe I handled it very well. I saw it as a chance to strengthen myself and make some improvements. I just made an effort to think positively.”
