    Liverpool hopes that by the time they go to play Manchester City next Saturday, their concerns about injuries will have substantially subsided.

    Eight players were left off of Jurgen Klopp’s roster for the 3-0 victory over Brentford at Anfield before to the most recent international break.

    However, there is hope that when the team gets back together before facing the Premier League winners, things will look much better.

    Naturally, Alexis Mac Allister will be back in action following his one-match suspension for receiving five yellow cards.

    Positive updates regarding the health of four celebrities who were sidelined recently due to injuries are also available.

    Surprisingly missing from the team to play Brentford were Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate, the former of whom had to withdraw from his France international duties.

    However, This Is Anfield is aware that both players’ absences were due to minor ailments that should have healed in time for the trip to the Etihad Stadium.

    A similar prognosis was also revealed by sources for Ryan Gravenberch, whose run of four straight Premier League starts was cut short by a knee niggle.

    But starting next weekend, the young Scouser Curtis Jones—who is expected to come back from hamstring trouble—will present new midfield competition for the Dutchman.

    Thiago and Andy Robertson are remain sidelined for Liverpool, and it seems unlikely that they will return to action until the new year.

    After a recent setback, Stefan Bajcetic may be recovering on a similar schedule if the Reds go cautiously with his recuperation.

    Conor Bradley, a right-back, is getting better. In recent weeks, he has intensified his rehabilitation at the AXA Training Centre in anticipation of making a comeback.

    About Mo Salah's future at Liverpool, David Ornstein discusses what he has been hearing thus far.

    At this point, Mohamed Salah might be considering staying at Liverpool past the end of the current campaign.

    Al Ittihad of Saudi Arabia showed a lot of interest in Salah throughout the summer, and Liverpool turned down a huge offer for their number eleven.

    Since then, it’s been widely believed that the Saudis will make Mo a second offer in January or early next year. Many Reds supporters may have already come to terms with the possibility that this is Salah’s final season at Anfield.

    However, journalist David Ornstein now suggests that could not be the case after all. In a Q&A session with The Athletic, Ornstein was questioned whether the future of the Egyptian superstar had received “any noise.” Liverpool supporters will find encouragement in his response.

    The journalist answered, “No, other than I don’t think it’s set in stone he goes.”

    “I’ve even heard some comments that he would want to stay and carry on competing in Europe at the top level. Of course, it’s a big decision for the player and the team.

    Liverpool gave Salah motivation.

    About Mo Salah's future at Liverpool, David Ornstein discusses what he has been hearing thus far.

    The Saudi interest that surfaced during the summer, which was naturally turned down, was in some respects a good thing.

    It helped Liverpool fans prepare for the possibility that, in a year, their Egyptian King may actually leave the team. That has been the general sentiment among supporters.

    However, given that the Saudis frequently perform for audiences of fewer than 1,000, maybe the situation has changed.

    Nobody knew for sure how the Pro League initiative would turn out back in the summer. Many well-known players were moving to the Middle East, raising hopes that the league would soon be on par with its European rivals.

    That may still be the case in the future, but it hasn’t materialised as of yet. It appears more and more like it will follow in the unfortunate footsteps of the Chinese Super League with each passing week. Is anyone really bothered outside of the transfer window?

    You can see why Mo might have been tempted by an offer a year ago. Now, though, there ought to be a legitimate doubt. It will appear as though he is conceding that his career is failing by moving from the Premier League to the Pro League.

    Salah might still be content to take that step, but we believe his fierce competitiveness might be about to turn the tide. He is thirty-one years old.

    Hopefully, Liverpool’s return to form and a few trophies this season will satiate his desire and convince him to stay. It seems as though things are about to change. Mo may finally have his “Wolf of Wall Street” moment.

    Injury update for Liverpool: most recent information and potential return dates for Andy Robertson, Cody Gakpo, and Thiago

    Even after winning the Merseyside derby, Jurgen Klopp still faces a major problem.

    Liverpool return to the Premier League on Merseyside with Everton.

    Mohamed Salah scored a second-half brace at Anfield on Saturday as Ashley Young Jurgen Klopp’s side returned from the international break with a morale-boosting win over their local rivals to move up to third in the top flight.
    Unbeaten Spurs are just a point behind Fulham on Monday night.

    Manchester United are currently busy with a Europa League game against French side Toulouse on Thursday, a Championship trip to Nottingham Forest next weekend and a Carabao Cup fourth round tie with Bournemouth.

    Klopp still has one or two major fitness concerns as his side look to continue challenging for trophies on three fronts.
    Here’s the latest Liverpool injury news and return date.

    Andy Robertson

    Klopp’s standout player is Robertson, who normally plays at left-back but will need surgery after picking up an injury sustained on international duty in Scotland’s Euro 2024 win over Spain last week.

    Greek Kostas Tsimikas is expected to feature for Everton for at least the next few weeks, with the manager admitting Robertson will be out “for a while”.

    Klopp before the derby: “The decision is about operations.
    Anyway, there was little chance to try, but after talking to many experts, it sounds like surgery would be better in the long run, meaning he’d be gone for a while.

    “I don’t know exactly how long it will take, but shoulder surgery is not easy.
    “My experience is that he will be back very quickly in training, but not in football because he has to be careful and has problems etc. He will be gone for a while.”

    Potential return date: January 2024

    Cody Gakpo

    The Dutch forward was left out of the matchday squad against Everton after injuring his knee in last month’s controversial defeat to Tottenham.
    However, Gakpo returned to training at Kirkby ahead of the derby and is sure to push for a return to the first team against either Toulouse or Nottingham Forest this week after missing his last three games Liverpool in all competitions.

    Potential return date: October 26 vs.

    Thiago Alcantara

    Injury update for Liverpool: most recent information and potential return dates for Andy Robertson, Cody Gakpo, and Thiago

    The Spaniard has been out of Liverpool since April after undergoing hip surgery.
    He was scheduled to return to training last month, but suffered two setbacks during his rehabilitation and was unable to set foot properly on grass.

    It remains to be seen when Thiago will return as he will certainly need time to improve his game to recover from these difficulties.
    As of now, November or December seems likely, but it’s hard to say until there’s a proper update from someone other than the boss.

    Potential return date: December 2023

    Stefan Bajcetic

    Baysetic returned for two games in September after being sidelined since March with a groin problem which hampered the academy graduate midfielder’s impressive 2022/23 campaign.

    The Spaniard made his debut in the Europa League game against LASK and then in the Carabao Cup tie with Leicester, but was ruled out with a minor calf problem.

    The injury does not appear to be serious and Klopp will likely be hoping for a return soon.
    Potential return date: November 1 vs Bournemouth

    Ben Doak

    Doak missed the match against Everton due to a muscle injury while playing for Scotland Under-21s.

    It remains to be seen how long the 17-year-old will be out.
    “Scotland Ben Doak has very little muscle,” Klopp said on Friday.
    “So we’ll have to wait and see (how long that takes), but we won’t have time over the weekend.”

    This is good news for Liverpool.
    Back-up goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher returned to the bench this weekend after suffering a knee injury that required 12 stitches before the international break.

    Suarez was still looking forward to being reunited with Messi.

    Inter Miami manager Gerardo Martino has not ruled out a move for former Liverpool star Luis Suarez in the winter transfer window.

    Suarez emerged as a possible target for the MLS club a few months ago, with the Uruguayan set to reunite with former Barcelona teammates Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and, of course, Lionel Messi.

    Commenting on Suarez’s move to the United States earlier this week, Martino said: “In addition to the analysis of next season and the demands we may have, we have an analysis of what we will do with and without Luis.

    “When the time comes to officially address the Suarez situation at Inter Miami, we will be ready to move in the right direction.”

    Robertson injury news.

    Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Andy Robertson will require surgery and be sidelined for an extended period after picking up a shoulder injury on duty in Scotland last week.

    Robertson injured his right shoulder during a tackle on goalkeeper Unai Simon in the first half of Scotland’s 2-0 defeat by Spain on Thursday.
    The Reds defender was left in a sling following the incident and was immediately flown to Merseyside to assess the extent of the damage during the European Championship 2024 qualifiers which Scotland secured on Sunday.

    “Liverpool behind Osimhen’s change of heart”.

    Liverpool have forced Victor Osimhen to change his tune after signing a new contract with Napoli.

    Italian journalist Walter De Maggio claimed that neither the leader nor his agent Roberto Calenda decided to extend his contract with the Napoli club due to the interest of Manchester United.

    “The parties agreed on an extension, but Calenda and Osimhen broke their promises,” he said in an interview with Televomero, broadcast by Area Napoli and Sport Witness.

    “What happens?
    Another Premier League club has joined us.
    I’m talking about Liverpool.
    Although the contact was frequent, I realized something else.
    The fact is that the transaction has already taken place.

    To be clear, Napoli are not involved as this deal is between the Reds and the player.
    “I hope Laurentiis can keep Victor Osimhen at least until the season, but we are not sure.”

     

  • Injury status and potential return date for Liverpool defender Andy Robertson.

    Injury status and potential return date for Liverpool defender Andy Robertson.

    During Scotland's loss to Spain, Liverpool's Andy Robertson was replaced. A collision with Unai Simon caused the defender

    During Scotland’s loss to Spain, Liverpool’s Andy Robertson was replaced.

    A collision with Unai Simon caused the defender to leave the field with a shoulder injury.

    If Robertson’s injury is as severe as anticipated, he might require a lengthy recovery period.

    The fact that defender Andy Robertson had to be replaced during Scotland’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Spain due to an apparent injury will make Liverpool fans resent the break.

    After losing 2-0 in Seville to Alvaro Morata and debutant Oihan Sancet, Scotland lost their first chance to advance to the European Championships next summer.

    After colliding with Spain’s goalkeeper Unai Simon just before halftime, Robertson suffered a shoulder injury and had to leave the game, which didn’t help the Tartan Army in the second half.

    Here is all the information you need to know about Robertson’s physical condition following his return to Liverpool prior to Scotland’s friendly matchup with France.

    Which injury is Andy Robertson suffering from?

    After being fouled by Unai Simon at Estadio de La Cartuja, Liverpool’s number 26 left the field with his right arm in a sling made of his shirt. Robertson was replaced right away and appeared to be extremely uncomfortable as he entered the dressing room.

    Under the impact of the Spain goalkeeper, Robertson may have dislocated his shoulder, a painful injury that requires time to heal.

    “Obviously he’s hurt his shoulder,” Scotland manager Steve Clarke said following the game.
    We’ll take a look before returning to his club, obviously.

    It always seems to happen after you lose one player in a position: we lose Kieran [Tierney] on the left side, and then Andy sustains a shoulder injury.

    “We’ll see how it goes, how things calm down, and hopefully he’s good for his club as soon as possible and ready to assist us in November.

    There is hope that Robertson’s injury is not as serious because Liverpool has not yet confirmed whether or not he has dislocated his shoulder.

    The 29-year-old will, however, probably continue to spend some games in the recovery area.

    When will Andy Robertson return from injury?

     

    Early reports indicate that Robertson’s injury could keep him out for two weeks to four months.
    A confirmation from Liverpool regarding the type and severity of the injury he sustained will help to clarify the timeframe, which is admittedly quite broad.

    He’ll probably miss more than three months if the left back needs surgery to repair a dislocated shoulder.
    Thus, Robertson might not be found until mid-January, with a longer absence being possible.

    Robertson might only miss two to four weeks of action if the injury is not as serious as initially thought, necessitating no surgery.
    Even though it’s still a setback for Jurgen Klopp, that timeframe is much more tolerable.

    Robertson will undoubtedly miss Liverpool’s first Merseyside derby matchup with Everton on October 21 regardless of the severity of his condition.

    He’ll probably be replaced by Greek international Kostas Tsimikas, who will start the game.

    Liverpool made sufficient improvements to their midfield during the summer transfer window, but they paid no attention

    Liverpool made sufficient improvements to their midfield during the summer transfer window, but they paid no attention to their shaky defense.

    Piero Hincapie was a candidate for the Reds, but they decided against making a move for him.
    To finally sign him in January, they are currently in negotiations.

    Famous German news outlet Bild revealed in August that Jurgen Klopp is eager to entice the South American to strengthen the defense at Anfield.

    To confirm the interest of the Merseysiders, his agent, Manuel Sierra, has just arrived.
    According to the spokesperson, Joaquin Saavedra of Futbol Sin Casette (via Bolavip).

    Liverpool was considering signing him, but at the time they decided to spend money on the midfield.

    They are speculating, like other clubs, that it will cost at least 50 million (euro, i.e. e.
    £43.3million).

    The team led by Xabi Alonso and featuring the Ecuadorian international finished sixth in the Bundesliga last year.

    He did not play in the league for the league leaders’ first three games of the season because of a suspension, though.

    Hincapie participated in his first full game of the season on Thursday in the 2-1 Europa League victory over Molde.

    Liverpool has only managed two clean sheets in their first ten games, and they have heavily relied on their offense to come from behind this season.

    The January transfer window needs to be used to strengthen the defense. Should the Reds make an offer of £43.3million to finally sign Hincapie.

    Liverpool player was sent back from his international assignment after sustaining a "serious" injury prior to the match against Everton.

    The Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton is scheduled for next week, but the Reds are facing an injury scare.

    Scotland’s 2-0 loss in their Euro 2024 qualifying match against Spain on Thursday night resulted in the forced substitution of Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson due to a serious-looking shoulder injury.

    According to reports, the defender dislocated his shoulder before Friday’s scheduled scan.

    Just before halftime, the Scotland captain and star player for Liverpool left the field due to a shoulder issue, and Nathan Patterson of Everton took his place.
    After having a goal disallowed by VAR in the second half, Alvaro Morata and Oihan Sancet scored for the home team, Steve Clarke’s team lost the match 2-0.

    After a collision with Spain’s Unai Simon, the keeper, Robertson left the field with his arm in his shirt, appearing to be a makeshift sling.
    Robertson will not play in Tuesday’s friendly against France, according to Scotland manager Clarke, who has confirmed that he will return to Liverpool for additional evaluation.

    Liverpool player was sent back from his international assignment after sustaining a "serious" injury prior to the match against Everton.

    “We’ll take a look, and he’ll be heading back to his club,” he stated. When you lose one player in a position, it always seems to happen. After Kieran [Tierney] goes down, Andy gets hurt in his shoulder.

    We’ll watch the situation and how it resolves.
    I hope he’s well enough to return to his club as soon as possible and be prepared to assist us in November.

    Liverpool’s first match following the international break is the Merseyside derby against Everton at Anfield.

    They play Nottingham Forest at home to close out the month, after hosting Toulouse in the Europa League group stage on October 26.
    Before the November international break, they also play at Toulouse, Luton Town, and Bournemouth. They play Brentford at home in their last match before the next round of internationals.

    As Jurgen Klopp’s team sits fourth in the standings after eight games, Robertson has participated in every minute of the Reds’ Premier League campaign thus far. He did not play in the Carabao Cup victory over Leicester last month, and he has been rested for both of the team’s Europa League games.

    John Aldridge has his say on the Premier League title race in part two of his weekly Liverpool column

    The race for the Premier League title seems wide open at the moment.

    On Sunday night we saw Manchester City lose to Arsenal, meaning Pep Guardiola’s side suffered back-to-back defeats in the Premier League for the first time since 2018

    City’s problem is that even after this setback they can remain unbeaten for 20 games.
    This is what they do.
    We can’t take anything for granted because we’ve been here with them before. I think Arsenal are at the same level as us and City are always the ones we have to beat.

    However, it no longer seems like it’s another battle just between us and City. Tottenham are doing much better, Chelsea will improve, Arsenal are growing and we have improved compared to last season.

    The only team whose situation has worsened is Manchester United.
    Man City are not where they have been and Sunday showed that this season will not be so easy for them.

    If Liverpool are to realistically challenge for the title, we need to get their defense in order. All good title-winning teams keep clean sheets and we don’t have that at the moment.
    We concede too many first goals.

    With the teams we have played against and the points we have, I think we are still in a good situation.
    We played five of the eight games away from home and the only game we lost was due to bad decisions by the referees.

    Mac Allister’s experiment in midfield failed

    Sunday’s 2-2 draw against Brighton was further proof that Mac Allister is not cut out as a defensive midfielder, not that we needed another reminder.
    I thought the game was made for Endo, but we never saw it.

    We had big problems in the first half and we didn’t defend well.
    Having a defensive midfielder in the team who knows his stuff isn’t particularly helpful. Brighton were counting on this, especially in the first half.

    Mac Allister should be ten meters higher because he is a very good player who gets things done. He will play the role of number 6 because he is asked to, but it doesn’t come naturally to him.
    I know people blamed him for the goal, but Virgil put him in danger with that pass right from the start. We cannot take such risks.

    I don’t know why we keep starting games so slowly.
    In the first half we had five minutes in which we were brilliant, but in the other 40 minutes we weren’t like that. Ryan Gravenberch missed a golden opportunity to make it 3-1 and should have scored, but I think he did well when he came on and made a big impact.

    The 18-year-old wonder kid who could take Andrew Robertson’s place is being pursued by Liverpool.

    Patrick Dorgu

    Since Jurgen Klopp took over at Anfield, Andrew Robertson of Liverpool has been one of the German coach’s most reliable players, but there’s no getting around the fact that the Scot will turn 30 before the 2023–24 season is over.

    It appears that the German faces a challenge in trying to lower the average age of his team while keeping enough experience for the Reds to remain competitive.

    According to Gazzetta dello Sport (via FourFourTwo), Klopp appears to be keeping tabs on Patrick Dorgu, a 18-year-old left-back who is Nigerian and Danish for Lecce.

    A player who might be the long-term replacement for Robertson is reportedly of interest to Man City and Barcelona as well.

    After a less-than-pleasant 2022/23 season in which Liverpool didn’t even make the Champions League, the Reds’ stellar start to the current campaign is a testament to the diligence of Klopp and his coaching staff.

    There may not be a need to upset the apple cart by challenging the players who have returned Liverpool to the top of European football, unless they falter toward the end of this season.

    Even though Robertson has room for improvement in some areas, he plays a key role in how Liverpool plays under Klopp, and he still has a good number of years left in him.

    There is a strong case to be made that Dorgu is not an acquisition that is required at this point because Kostas Tsimikas serves as a capable replacement when needed.

    Liverpool is allegedly interested in a Brazilian defender.

    Michail Antonio declares Liverpool to have "won"  As he speaks out about his embarrassing pre-match remarks

    Still looking for a defender is the Reds.With a brand-new midfield but no additional defenders, Liverpool closed the summer transfer window with a bang.
    It’s obvious that the center-back position needs to be filled with fresh talent.
    The injury table is a point of contention for 32-year-old captain Virgil van Dijk’s teammates Ibrahima Konaté and Jol Matip like it’s the final musical chair.

    Although Liverpool hasn’t historically done much business in the winter, they have been known to make exceptions if the need is great enough or the player is talented enough.
    The ideal illustration of that would be van Dijk himself, with whom the Reds finally agreed to a contract in January 2018.

    The Brazilian player Lucas Beraldo is one that Klopp and company are reportedly considering right now to fill the need in defense.
    Currently, Beraldo represents Sao Paulo in his native Brazil.

    The English and European teams are reportedly interested in him, according to the Brazilian media.

    In addition to the Reds, Wolves and Newcastle United are also rumored to be contenders, and teams like Porto, Benfica, and Monaco are also being mentioned. The center back, who is 19 years old and also plays for Brazil’s U20 team, made his team debut last year.

    He wouldn’t be the player vying for position next to van Dijk if he did make it to Merseyside.
    Up until Klopp saw evidence of his abilities, he would hold down at least fourth place in the pecking order.

    He might have been a good long-term project and a nice fit for the team, according to the scouting reports.

    It’s possible, but it’s more likely that they’re just spreading false information and will soon disappear from the map.

    ‘Someone that I’ve respected,’ admits the £50 million Chelsea player about the Liverpool star.

    'Someone that I've respected,' admits the £50 million Chelsea player about the Liverpool star.

    Ben Chilwell, a defender for Chelsea, says he respects Andy Robertson, a star player for Liverpool.

    The 29-year-old was recently listed as one of the top five full-backs in the Premier League by Ben Chilwell.

    The England international said, in a statement to the Premier League’s official website, “Over the last few years, as a left-back, I’ve respected him and I’ve seen what he’s done at Liverpool.
    And he has numerous awards from that venue, so he will be my fourth choice.

    Knowing that Chilwell has a lot of time for Robertson is not surprising.

    Of course, both players are left-backs, with the former serving as an example for all left-backs.

    Since moving to Liverpool from Hull City in 2017, he has been a huge success for the Merseyside club, contributing to their numerous victories, including the Premier League and Champions League.

    Another illustration would be Ben Chilwell.

    Also a competent left-back is Chilwell, who Chelsea paid £50 million to acquire from Leicester City.

    The 26-year-old is not currently playing there for the Blues for whatever reason. But when he does, partnering with Reece James on the other flank, he offers a lot to the team going forward, as you would anticipate from a contemporary full-back.

    Chilwell is completing 2.3 key passes per league game, which is the second-highest average in Mauricio Pochettino’s team (only Enzo Fernandez is making more (2.8)), according to WhoScored.

    Even though the former Leicester player now plays further forward, the aforementioned example still demonstrates his ability to spark an attack.

    Nevertheless, given all of Chilwell’s attacking talent, it would be surprising if Pochettino continued to play him on the left wing for the remainder of the season.

    Former Liverpool players Joe Cole and Peter Crouch think their team can once again contend for the championship.

    After watching Saturday’s comeback against Wolverhampton Wanderers, former Reds Peter Crouch and Joe Cole concur that Liverpool will be a title-challenging force this season.

    A challenging first half ensued after Hwang Hee-chan gave the hosts the lead after just 10 minutes.
    Following the break, Jurgen Klopp made adjustments that helped his team win.

    Cody Gakpo scored the winning goal in the 85th minute before being replaced by interim captain Andy Robertson.
    Hugo Bueno’s own goal, which Harvey Elliott forced deep into stoppage time, capped off a successful afternoon.

    The outcome temporarily moved the Reds to the top of the standings before the rest of the day’s Premier League action began.

    Manchester City, who held the top spot going into the international after winning all four games, made it five from five with a comeback of their own at West Ham to reclaim that position.

    Tottenham scored twice after the 90th minute to defeat Sheffield United and tie Liverpool’s total of points.
    They were the third high-flying team to win despite the odds being stacked against them.

    However, before those outcomes, TNT Sports analysts Crouch and Cole, who were both Reds during their playing careers, were asked whether Liverpool would be Manchester City’s main competition for the Premier League title this year.

    Cole responded diplomatically, “Yes, I believe they can push City [the closest].”.
    Arsenal will be closer because we see them getting better as well.

    As much credit as I want to give Liverpool for their hiring, Jurgen Klopp for the job it sounds like he’s already done, and [Mikel] Arteta at Arsenal, I think a lot depends on how City react.

    “They’ve been brilliant so far — undefeated — to the shift in the players who have left them, because they’ve let some big players go.
    Are the players that Man City brought going to have as much of an impact as players like [Riyad] Mahrez and [Ilkay] Gundogan who have left?

    Following Liverpool's latest victory, Peter Crouch and Joe Cole concur on the winner.

    “Because I believe players like those Liverpool has added will help them, and I also believe Arsenal’s players will help them,” the author explains.

    “Those two clubs will be the ones putting pressure on Man City, and I sincerely hope they do so for the benefit of the Premier League.
    It’s fun to watch when Man City dominates, and we give them all the respect and flowers they deserve, but we need some competition.

    “This group appears capable of competing with Man City. “.
