Liverpool injury update: Latest news and return dates for Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak, and Wataru Endo

 

Liverpool has received a double injury update as they prepare for consecutive matches against Wolves.

 

This week, Liverpool faces Wolves in two consecutive games, aiming to finish the season on a high note.

 

Liverpool’s injury and suspension updates ahead of the Wolves match: Latest on Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak

 

In their pursuit of a top-four finish, Premier League champions Liverpool are set to visit Molineux to take on the struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday.

 

Despite not performing at their peak over the weekend, the Reds managed to secure a 5-2 victory against West Ham United, aided by a remarkable series of set-piece goals.

 

In addition to the win, manager Arne Slot expressed his satisfaction with the return of versatile right-back Jeremie Frimpong, who has recently recovered from a thigh injury. If the former Bayer Leverkusen player can maintain his fitness, he could prove crucial for the Champions League contenders.

 

Conversely, fellow ex-Leverkusen player Florian Wirtz was sidelined due to a back injury, and his absence was noticeable as Liverpool struggled to generate opportunities during open play.

GIOVANNI LEONI

 

Status: Out

 

Injury type: ACL

 

Estimated return date: Unknown

 

When 19-year-old centre-back Giovanni Leoni joined in the summer, fans were eager to witness one of Europe’s most promising defensive talents at Anfield.

 

Unfortunately, Leoni sustained a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury during his debut in September 2025, meaning he will have to wait until next season to make an impact.

 

WATARU ENDO

 

Status: Out

 

Injury type: Ankle / Foot

 

Estimated return date: Unknown

 

Wataru Endo, a versatile defensive midfielder, has consistently shown his willingness to sacrifice for the Reds. However, he was taken off on a stretcher after suffering a serious ankle injury during a strong performance against Sunderland on February 11.

 

The Japan captain is now racing against time to recover for the 2026 World Cup, with Slot commenting, “Wata will be out for a long time. We don’t know the exact duration, but it will be significant.”

 

FLORIAN WIRTZ

 

Status: Significant uncertainty

 

Type of injury: Back

 

Estimated return date: March 3 (against Wolves)

 

Playmaker Wirtz was removed from the lineup for the match against Nottingham Forest on February 22 after experiencing a back problem during the warm-up. Although the club initially anticipated that the £116m player would be fit to face West Ham, he was unable to participate once more.

 

In a statement on Saturday, Slot remarked that “Tuesday [against Wolves] is likely to be too soon. The following week will be challenging as things currently stand, but as I mentioned, I believed he would be ready for today [against West Ham], which unfortunately did not occur.”

 

ALEXANDER ISAK

 

Status: Unavailable

 

Type of injury: Lower leg

 

Estimated return date: April 11 (against Fulham)

 

After making a record £125m transfer from Newcastle United to Liverpool, Alexander Isak has struggled to make a significant impact at his new team, primarily due to a series of injuries during the 2025-26 season.

 

The striker is presently undergoing rehabilitation following successful surgery on a complicated lower leg injury sustained in December. Slot anticipates that Isak will not be ready until the “end of March or early April,” and he will also require additional time to regain his form.

 

CONOR BRADLEY

 

Status: Unavailable

 

Type of injury: Knee

 

Estimated return date: Unknown

 

Right-back Conor Bradley will be sidelined for the rest of the season due to a serious knee injury that forced him to leave the field during the match against Arsenal on January 8.

 

Similar to Isak, the 22-year-old underwent successful surgery to address his injury, but his return will be postponed until the 2026-27 season.
