Liverpool injury latest and possible return dates as Alisson Becker posts update

After Liverpool beat Bournemouth in the Premier League, the schedule is not set to slow down. And for that reason, Arne Slot will need as many players to be fit as possible.

The next match that the Reds face is West Ham United in the Carabao Cup, where there could be a chance for rotation. Curtis Jones and Wataru Endo will hope to come into the midfield while Conor Bradley, Joe Gomez and Jarell Quansah will want to be in the back four.

Before we know it, the game against Wolves next Saturday will be here and keeping players fresh for that one has to be the priority. For now, Slot's side has a decent bill of health across the board.

Alisson Becker

Few goalkeepers pick up as many muscular injuries as Alisson Becker. It's the only drawback with the world's best in his position. And after missing the match against Bournemouth, the Brazilian posted a picture on social media that showed his legs in some sort of medical device.

Alisson had a minor muscle issue ahead of the win at AC Milan but played through that, Slot said last Friday. The Liverpool shot-stopper, though, then had to miss training a couple of times and sat out the Premier League match against Bournemouth.

Possible return date: We don't know yet, but hopefully he won't be out for long. Slot will be asked about it during his press conference, for sure, which is scheduled for 9am (UK time) Wednesday.

Harvey Elliott

Having picked up an injury to his foot during the last international break, Harvey Elliott is not set to be back in action until the end of October. That means he will continue to miss plenty of opportunities in which he would have played.

Elliott would almost certainly have played against West Ham United and he would have been really useful to bring off the bench against Nottingham Forest to try and break down that low block. Without him, Tyler Morton or Trey Nyoni could potentially get a go in the Carabao Cup.

Possible return date: End of October. Liverpool plays Chelsea after the next international break (October 20), travels to RB Leipzig the following midweek (October 23), and then faces Arsenal at the end of the month (October 27).
