Jota has the cumulative affect of so many contact injuries I guess. and Ali is like a lot of bigger-boned players, who are slow to heal normally I think.
or Fabio Aurelio. But I was more focused on slow healing - like hey he will be out 1 week - and then its 3 weeks (regularly). The other guys were definitely oft injured for sure.
Yep. My biggest problems with Kewell were always injured and when not always injured, not as good as the PR would have had us believe.
Slot just said Ibou and Conor not yet fully assessed but both "not looking good". edit: Trent fit to start.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot on whether his side's injuries have been underplayed: "In general people only talk about injuries if the results are not there so it's a good thing that nobody has talked about ours because it means we've got our results. "The moment you start to lose it's about kick-off times or it's about injuries - we always come up with certain ideas why we didn't win, especially me, but nine times out of 10 it's about the quality of the opposition and their game plan. "We do have some very important players injured but if the replacements do so well then it's normal that people don't talk about it much. "Missing Alisson, missing Diogo Jota, missing Trent in the last two games - those are players that have had a lot of impact in recent years but it's a good thing that we don't talk about it."
ah jesus .... 9 games being rumoured ..... Liverpool's commanding 2-0 win over Real Madrid in the Champions League came at a significant cost, with concerns mounting over the fitness of Conor Bradley. The 21-year-old right-back, a standout performer at Anfield on Wednesday, is now a doubt for the Reds’ demanding December fixture list following a hamstring injury, as reported by Paul Joyce for The Times. edit: 9 games = MAN CITY NEWCASTLE EVERTON GIRONA FULHAM SOUTHAMPTON SPURS LEICESTER WEST HAM
next 3 games will be a bitch. Joe at CB is fine for me, although also depends on how Trent does coming back and if we need a Joe/Quan tag team at CB so Joe can move to RB. plus we have a shagged-out Robbo and possibly less-than100% Tsimi to worry about. musical chairs time again.
Worst case scenario- Trent is rushed back, reinjures his hamstring. Then Gomez slides over and Quanseh subs in.
That’s what they just said during the broadcast - six weeks they also mentioned Bradley, but I am not sure they meant the same time frame
well that's a new one. based on someone's estimate of players' transfer value? stats for the sake of stats, once more.
official site: Alisson Becker is expected to return from injury before the end of December. Liverpool’s No.1 has been out since early October due to a muscle complaint but is progressing well in his recovery, Arne Slot said this morning. The head coach also reported Federico Chiesa is back in team training following his own spell on the sidelines. Slot was asked during his pre-Newcastle United press conference whether he will have a ‘big decision’ to make regarding the goalkeeper position when Alisson is available again, given Caoimhin Kelleher’s excellent form. “I feel I always have a big decision to make in every line-up I have to make,” he replied. “So, if you look at our last game against [Manchester] City, I didn’t play Darwin [Nunez], I didn’t play Curtis [Jones], I didn’t play Wata [Endo], I don’t play Harvey Elliott and Jarell Quansah and probably I forget one or two now [like] Tyler Morton. “So, it’s always big decisions you have to make as the manager of Liverpool because we have so many quality players, but I think I have been clear a few weeks ago about what my position is about our goalkeepers. “But we are just waiting for the moment that Alisson is completely fit because Caoimh is doing too well to put Alisson in goal if he is only on 50 per cent [fitness] and that would not be good for Alisson and not be good for the team. “He’s getting there. It might take a few more extra days but he’s getting closer and closer and like I’ve always said the end phase of rehab is always the period where you feel like, ‘OK, is he really there or does he need a few extra days?’ But he will be in goal before the end of December if things continue like they are.” ----------------- no mention of Diogo. or Tsimi.
