🚨 DEVASTATING NEWS: Horrible news has been announced for Liverpool before the Brighton match.

With the intensity surrounding Liverpool’s recent game against Arsenal, one might think injuries are a non-issue for the Reds. However, Arne Slot provided a detailed update on the squad’s fitness ahead of their match against Brighton, revealing the continued impact of absences.

Speaking to the press, Slot shared, “Conor [Bradley] is back in training with us and might make the squad tomorrow. [Diogo] Jota is out, as are Alisson, Harvey Elliott, and Federico [Chiesa]. I’m not expecting Chiesa to be available either.” He elaborated on Chiesa’s ongoing challenges, explaining, “It’s hard to set a timeline for Federico because his recovery has been unpredictable—sometimes he’s with us in training for a few days, then he’s sidelined again. We need to focus on getting him back to full fitness without putting pressure on his return date.”

From these updates, it appears that only Conor Bradley has a chance to return soon, while the remaining four players will need more time. Alisson Becker, Diogo Jota, and Harvey Elliott might not be available until after the upcoming international break, which is a significant concern.

Liverpool’s injury woes are likely to persist in the near term. Though the team has managed to perform admirably under Slot’s guidance, the strain of missing key players continues to impact the squad, especially with fewer options to distribute playing time. The forward line, in particular, is feeling the loss of two important players, and Slot even joked about recalling Ben Doak from his impressive Championship run to help fill the gap.

As Liverpool pushes forward in pursuit of silverware, fans and management alike are hoping for a swift resolution to these injury issues so that the team can perform at full strength.
