Liverpool's injury problems have eased massively in recent weeks, with a number of players having returned since the start of December.

Alisson, Harvey Elliott, Federico Chiesa, Diogo Jota and Kostas Tsimikas have all contended with significant spells on the treatment table this season, but all five players returned to action this month.

However, Arne Slot still does not have a completely clean bill of health, with Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konate both unavailable. Here's where both players are up to with their recoveries...

At the time the injury occurred it was reported that the French center-back was facing five to six weeks out, keeping him out of all of Liverpool's games during a hectic December schedule.

Expected return date: January 2025

Conor Bradley

Bradley also sustained an injury against Madrid as his fantastic performance was disrupted by a hamstring problem in the second half.

It was reported by The Belfast Telegraph in the days after the match that the Northern Ireland international was also facing a six-week spell on the sidelines.

What Slot said about Konate and Bradley returns

On December 20, Slot said: “These are the two that are still ‘in the red’, so they don’t train with us at the moment. They are on their way back but they don’t train with the team yet.”

Asked when they might return, he added: “That is, what I’ve said before, quite difficult. We thought, I thought, that [Diogo] Jota would have been back a bit earlier already and sometimes the end stage of rehab takes a bit longer.

“Sometimes they join [training] and then they are like, ‘I’m not completely ready to start yet.’ So, let’s wait and see but we have very good rehab personnel over here and they’ve done some good work already with Alisson and a few others.

“The main thing is that if they come back, they are ready to come back and we must not focus on one, two or three days. It’s more important for the long term that they stay fit afterwards. Until now they have done really well and hopefully with Conor and Ibou the same thing happens.”
