Liverpool appear to be short on numbers at the rear when they take on Leicester City next weekend.
The Reds will host Leicester on a kickoff at 7.15pm on Sunday, November 22 and hope to avoid further injury before then.
His bad luck with injuries this season continued after the news that Joe Gomez suffered a knee tendon injury while on international service with England.
The Reds have already had to deal with various injuries this season, including those to Virgil van Dijk, Thiago Alcantara and, most recently, Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Jurgen Klopp is just one of the Premier League coaches who has expressed his displeasure at the decision not to allow five substitutes in each match to manage the fitness and well-being of the players.
Here are the latest updates on Liverpool’s injury list, including full details on when they could be expected to return to action.
Mohamed salah
Salah tested positive for Covid-19, but shows no symptoms and could return to Liverpool on Thursday with Egypt confident that the forward will have recovered from the coronavirus.
The Egyptian has been in self-isolation after testing positive for the virus on Friday before his country’s African Cup of Nations qualifying game against Togo.
The 28-year-old had been training with the national team for three days and reportedly attended his brother’s wedding in Cairo last Monday. He also received an award from the Egyptian Federation at a ceremony in Cairo on Wednesday.
Salah has been in quarantine at a hotel in El-Gouna ahead of his next coronavirus test on Thursday.
And the head of the Egyptian Ministry of Health’s COVID-19 committee, Hossam Hosny, believes that the Liverpool player will return a negative result that would allow him to return to his club.
However, Salah may have to self-isolate for at least 10 days due to UK government laws on positive coronavirus tests if that doesn’t happen, and he may have to self-isolate for longer if he develops symptoms. , but, as is, he will definitely be out of competition for the Leicester game.
With Salah currently out of international duty, he faces a race to return in time to face Atalanta in the Champions League.
Instead, the trip to Brighton on November 28 may be the most realistic option for Salah’s return.
Jordan henderson
Liverpool had another injury concern after captain Jordan Henderson was forced to abandon England’s defeat in Belgium.
Henderson was substituted as a precaution after complaining of a problem during the half-time break in the 2-0 UEFA Nations League setback in Leuven on Sunday night.
It underwent a more detailed assessment on Monday morning when England returned to St George’s Park to begin preparations for Wednesday’s Wembley clash with Iceland.
Henderson will almost certainly miss the game as the Three Lions are now unable to qualify for next year’s final and are not under threat of relegation from the highest level of the competition.
However, Liverpool hope that they will recover in time to face Leicester City this weekend.
Andy Robertson
Liverpool will keep a close eye on Andy Robertson’s fitness after Steve Clarke suggested the defender could play for Scotland in the middle of the week.
Robertson was left out of his country’s 1-0 UEFA Nations League defeat in Slovakia on Sunday afternoon as a precautionary measure after complaining of hamstring strain.
The left-back had played for 120 minutes when Scotland beat Serbia on penalties three days earlier to qualify for the European Championship next summer.
He has traveled with his national team to Israel, so the fights over his fitness are improving and he should be back in time to play the Foxes.
Joe Gomez
Liverpool defender Joe Gomez had surgery on a tendon in his left knee and now faces a battle to play again this season.
Gomez underwent a successful operation to repair the tendon on Thursday after sustaining the injury during training with England the day before.
While scans revealed that the 23-year-old did not suffer any ligament damage, he now faces a lengthy rehabilitation.
No timetable has been set for Gomez’s recovery, as Liverpool are not ruling out the possibility that the center-back will play again this season.
Trent Alexander-Arnold
Trent Alexander-Arnold retired during the 1-1 draw against Manchester City in the second half with a hamstring injury.
The Reds right-back is expected to miss about a month of soccer after suffering a calf injury, but is currently enjoying time off due to the international break.
Jurgen Klopp confirmed that the Englishman would miss the national team’s triple header in mid-November.
He will intensify his rehab at Liverpool’s new AXA Training Center next week, as he sets his sights on a speedy return to action.
However, Trent will face a race against time to declare his fitness for the Denmark match against FC Midtjylland on December 9.
It means the Reds are likely to be without their first-choice right-back for the remainder of the Champions League group stage, while he too is left out of matches with Leicester, Brighton and Wolves in the Premier League. .
Fabinho
Fabinho became a victim of Liverpool’s mounting injury problems when he stopped in the first half of the UEFA Champions League win over Midtjylland with a hamstring problem.
Since then, explorations have been carried out and it appears Liverpool will be without the midfielder, who has performed well as an emergency central defender for the Reds, until after the international break.
Klopp has confirmed that Fabinho should be fine to return after the international break.
Virgil van Dijk
Liverpool will be without Virgil van Dijk for most of the season, at the very least, after he suffered a serious ACL injury against Everton.
The inspiring Reds central defender was caught up in a horror challenge from Jordan Pickford and underwent successful surgery in London this week.
Liverpool are reluctant to set a deadline, but the Reds defender may not play against this season.
Thiago Alcantara
Midfielder Thiago Alcantara was also injured in the derby after finding himself on the receiving end of a wild lunge by Richarlison, for which the Everton forward was sent off.
There were initial fears that the summer transfer’s injury was serious, but a scan gave the Reds positive news and the Spaniard was photographed training alone before the Midtjylland game.
However, questions remain as to when he will be available next time, as he missed the games against West Ham and Manchester City.
Fans will be on the lookout to see if the midfielder shows up once full training resumes at the club’s new AXA Training Center next week.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
The 27-year-old was involved in a challenge during training while in Austria when the incident occurred and Jurgen Klopp explained that it looked like an injury similar to that suffered by captain Jordan Henderson towards the end of last season against Brighton.
He returned to Melwood for his rehabilitation with the club’s medical staff. The midfielder has been unlucky with injuries during his Liverpool career and fans are hoping the latter won’t keep him out for much longer.
