NewsLiverpool's injury list, suspensions and availability
Last updated on December 20
Injuries
Conor Bradley
Bradley had to be substituted after sustaining an injury during the first half of the 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur on December 20.
Wataru Endo
The midfielder has been out of action with an ankle injury since appearing in the 3-3 draw at Leeds United on December 6.
Arne Slot said his absence will be "weeks" when providing an update on December 12.
Cody Gakpo
Gakpo is currently sidelined with a muscle problem suffered in the draw with Leeds.
Slot on December 19: "He had a scan that looked promising so that means that we are not that worried anymore, as we were maybe one or two weeks ago. So that means he might come back a bit earlier than expected two weeks ago, but that's definitely not tomorrow and also not next week."
Joe Gomez
The No.2 picked up a muscle injury during the first half of the victory against Brighton & Hove Albion on December 13.
Slot on December 19: "Joe is not in the squad as well for the weekend."
Alexander Isak
Isak sustained an injury in the act of scoring the opening goal in the 2-1 win at Tottenham on December 20.
Slot on December 20: "I don’t have any news on him, but if a player scores, then gets injured and then doesn’t come back on the pitch and doesn’t try to come back... that's usually not a good thing. But I cannot say anything more than that, that is just gut feeling. Nothing medical to say about it."
Giovanni Leoni
The defender is amid a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury at the end of his debut against Southampton in the Carabao Cup.
Slot on September 26: "He is not in a good place, of course, because he tore his ACL and it means he will be out for a year. Being so young and coming to a new country and playing so well in your first game... it's very hard to take the positive side.
"There's never a positive side – but you always try to look at a positive side and that is that he is still so young, so he has so many years still to go after he recovers from a terrible injury like that."
Availability
Mohamed Salah
After featuring off the bench versus Brighton on December 13, the forward is now with Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations.
His country's group-stage games are against Zimbabwe (December 22), South Africa (December 26) and Angola (December 29).
Suspensions
Dominik Szoboszlai will serve a one-match Premier League suspension for the meeting with Wolverhampton Wanderers on December 27 after he received his fifth top-flight yellow card of the season in the victory at Tottenham.
Bradley is one yellow card away from incurring a one-match suspension in the Champions League.
