Liverpool injury news and return dates vs Everton as new absentee confirmed for Arne Slot
The latest Liverpool injury news between the Premier League draw with Newcastle United and Saturday’s Merseyside derby against Everton
Arne Slot will be hoping for an injury boost heading into the weekend’s Merseyside derby after Liverpool dropped points against Newcastle. The head coach has only a few days to prepare for the Everton clash on Saturday.
A last-minute Magpies equaliser ruined Liverpool’s efforts coming from behind at St. James’ Park, allowing rivals to marginally close the gap at the top of the Premier League. The next opportunity to get back to winning ways comes around quickly – a Saturday early kick-off at Goodison Park against rivals Everton.
Slot knows he will be without one player for sure – Alexis Mac Allister, who picked up his fifth booking of the season on Wednesday to receive a one-game suspension.
Here, the ECHO takes a look a look at the Argentine’s teammates who may be joining him in absence of Liverpool’s next battle with Everton, and importantly those who are in line to return…
Alisson Becker
Injury: Hamstring
“I feel I always have a big decision to make in every line-up I make. It’s always big decisions you have to make as manager of Liverpool because we have so many quality players,” Slot said before the Newcastle trip.
He added: “I think I was clear about our position in the goalkeepers a few weeks ago, but we are just waiting for the moment Alisson is completely fit because Kelleher is doing too well to put Alisson in goal if he is only 50%.”
