Liverpool are back in action on Saturday afternoon with the Premier League visit of Ipswich Town. And the Reds are still waiting to discover exactly who they can call upon for the visit of the struggling Tractor Boys.

Joe Gomez and Diogo Jota are both out with the Liverpool boss Arne Slot having stated on Monday the duo would be missing for "weeks rather than months" and would be sidelined for the immediate future.

Gomez has been absent since injuring his hamstring during the first half of the 5-0 Premier League win at West Ham United on December 29.

Jota, meanwhile, has missed the last games after complaining of having suffered a muscle injury during his goalscoring cameo from the bench during the 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest last midweek. The Portuguese has already missed a significant chunk of the campaign after an impact injury to his upper body at home to Chelsea back in late October.

Slot is also waiting on a fitness update regarding Curtis Jones. The midfielder was recalled to the starting line-up for Tuesday's 2-1 Champions League home win over Lille and created the opening goal for Mohamed Salah.

However, Jones subsequently picked up a knock shortly before half-time and while he was able to continue after treatment for the remainder of the first half, he failed to reappear for the second half. Liverpool are ascertaining the extent of any damage.

Provided no other issues are reported in the coming days, Slot is expected to have an otherwise full squad from which to choose on Saturday.
