Liverpool's injury crisis has eased in recent weeks and the Reds will be without just two first-team players versus Tottenham on Sunday.

Up until fairly recently, Liverpool had several times that amount of players sidelined, but the recent returns of Alisson, Diogo Jota, Federico Chiesa, Harvey Elliott and Kostas Tsimikas have improved the situation.

Now, the Reds are just waiting on Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley to return after the pair sustained injuries during the 2-0 win over Real Madrid at the end of November.

Konate limped off with a knee problem during stoppage time after a coming-together with Virgil van Dijk and Endrick, while Bradley pulled up with hamstring discomfort during the second half.

Speaking ahead of the trip to Spurs, Arne Slot gave an update on the pair's recoveries: “If I’m correct, I think it’s only two players in the red [zone] at the moment and that means only two injuries left – and a few of them are coming back from injuries.

“I think we only miss two players (Konate and Bradley) on the training ground today, which is a positive thing. These are the two who are still in 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.”

When asked about possible return dates for the duo, Slot responded: “That is quite difficult. I thought Jota would have been back a bit earlier already, but sometimes the end stage of rehab takes a bit longer.

“Let’s wait and see, but we have very good rehab personnel over here and they have done some good work already with Alisson and some others.

“The main thing is if they come back, they are ready to come back. We must not focus on one, two or three days, it’s more important for the long term that they stay fit afterwards.”
