Liverpool are flying high at the top of the Premier League table at Christmas, and even their injury problems are easing.
The Reds beat the Spurs 6-3 on Sunday to take a four-point lead with a game in hand.
Arne Slot was also able to welcome both Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas back from injury, leaving just two in the treatment room.
With that in mind, here’s a look at the latest Liverpool injuries….
Ibrahima Konate suffered an injury during the 2-0 over Real Madrid in the Champions League last month and Slot admits he cannot put on a timeline on the Frenchman’s return.
When asked about Konate and Bradley, Slot said last week: “Those are the two who are still ‘in the red’, so they’re not training with us at the moment. They’re on their way back but haven’t practiced with the teams yet.
When asked about a schedule, Slot responded: “That’s what I said before, it’s pretty difficult. We thought, I thought, that [Diogo] Jota would have become a little older by now and the final phase of rehabilitation takes a little longer.
Possible return date: January 2025
Like Konate, Bradley was injured in the victory over Madrid. The hamstring injury is expected to dominate the Northern Irishman in the coming weeks.
“[Bradley and Konate] will be out for a few weeks,” the Reds boss said earlier this month.
Slot added last week: “Sometimes they join [training] and then they are like, ‘I’m not completely ready to start yet.’ So, let’s wait and see but we have very good rehab personnel over here and they’ve done some good work already with Alisson [Becker] and a few others.
“The most important thing is that if they come back, they are in a position to come back and you should not focus on one, two or three days. It is more important in the long term that they continue to have compatibility afterwards. So far they have done very well and I hope that with Conor and Ibou the same thing happened.
Possible return date: January 2025
