Liverpool is beginning to feel the effects of ιnjury.
In their 1-1 draw with Arsenal, the Reds lost a man for the long haul when Kostas Tsimikas was substituted off with a broken collarbone. Having a full complement of healthy players is crucial for Jurgen Klopp’s Premier League title hopes.
To get you ready for Boxing Day’s match against Burnley, here are the most recent updates regarding Liverpool’s ιnjury situation.
1. Luis Diaz’s knee ιnjury
Despite being substituted in the match against Arsenal due to a knee clаsh, Klopp remained unconcerned. Burnley, Tuesday, December 26th, might be a comeback match
Second, Alexis Mac Allister — deposed
Earlier this month, in a 2-0 victory against Sheffield United, the midfielder was substituted off in the second half after taking a nasty tackle. It is possible that Mac Allister will be unavailable for the rest of 2023 due to his absence that began in early 2023. When: Monday, January 1st, home field versus Newcastle
Thirdly, Diogo Jota’s leg ιnjury
The Portugal international was substituted after going down against Manchester City alone. Liverpool have taken it slow with Jota since he returned to training. If Jota will play against Burnley, Klopp has no idea. Newcastle, Monday, January 1st, possible return match
4. Shoulder – Andy Robertson
Recently, the left back came clean about the fact that he has not decided when he wants to be ready again. That particular day has been set aside for the new year. A possible comeback date in January
Fifthly, Thiago Alcantara’s hip
There will be no playing time for the Spaniard until after the new year. After recovering from his ιnjury, Thiago will require time to get back into playing shape for Liverpool, as he hasn’t done so since April. January 6th is a possible return date. Sebastian Bajcetic – youngster
After the midfielder suffered adductor surgery in March and then a calf ιnjury, Liverpool has been cautious with him. Possible return match: not applicable
7. Knee – Joel Matip
The center back hurt his knee in the first match of the month against Fulham. Matip’s ACL tear has been verified, and he may not return for the remainder of the season. Possible return match: not applicable
