Liverpool injury update: Latest news on Giorgi Mamardashvili, Alisson Becker, and Wataru Endo, including their return dates.

Reds had to rely on their third-choice goalkeeper during last week’s derby.

Arne Slot faced a significant injury worry during the Merseyside derby on Sunday, where Liverpool triumphed over Everton with a score of 2-1.

The Reds clinched victory in the dying moments of the match, thanks to an injury-time header from Virgil van Dijk, following goals from Mohamed Salah and Beto around the half-time mark.

Next, Crystal Palace will visit Anfield on Saturday afternoon, presenting another excellent chance for the Reds to secure three points. In preparation for this upcoming match, we have compiled the latest updates on Liverpool’s injury situation:

Liverpool injury news update – goalkeepers and defense

Giorgi Mamardashvili (knee) – The Georgian international was taken off the pitch on a stretcher during Liverpool’s 2-1 victory against Everton, having sustained a severe cut to his knee. Slot mentioned earlier in the week that the goalkeeper had been hospitalized, but it is not expected to be a “long-term injury.” Anticipated return date: May 3rd vs Manchester United.

Alisson (hamstring) – Another goalkeeper sidelined, Alisson has been out of action for over a month due to a hamstring injury. The player discussed the uncertainty regarding his recovery on social media earlier this month, indicating that he aims to return before the end of April. Anticipated return date: May 3rd vs Manchester United.

Joe Gomez (unknown) – There is limited information available about the current injury status of the 28-year-old. He was absent from last weekend’s Merseyside derby, but Slot did not provide details about his condition. Despite this recent setback, Gomez has accumulated over 1000 minutes of play for Liverpool this season, including 17 appearances in the Premier League. Anticipated return date: unknown.

Conor Bradley (knee) – This season has been incredibly frustrating for the Northern Ireland international, who suffered a significant knee injury against Arsenal in January. He is currently focused on his recovery, but the right-back will not return to play this season, aiming instead for a full recovery ahead of the 2026/27 campaign. Expected return date: pre-season.

Giovanni Leoni (knee) – The towering defender, signed last summer, was expected to gain valuable experience from Van Dijk over the year. However, an ACL injury in September disrupted those plans, sidelining him for the remainder of the season. Like Bradley, he will be diligently working to regain his fitness during the summer months. Expected return date: pre-season.

Liverpool injury news update – midfield and attack

Wataru Endo (ankle) – A serious ankle injury sustained against Sunderland in February means the former VfB Stuttgart player will not participate further in Liverpool’s season. Japan’s captain is hoping to play in this summer’s World Cup, but he is taking a risk with only pre-tournament friendlies remaining to regain match fitness. Expected return date: pre-season.

Hugo Ekitike (Achilles) – He suffered a torn Achilles tendon against Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month, which is one of the most severe injuries a footballer can endure. Due to the seriousness of Ekitike’s injury and Mohamed Salah’s impending departure, the Reds are anticipated to invest significantly in reinforcements this summer. Expected return date: January 2027.

Jayden Danns (thigh) – Slot addressed the extended absence of the England youth international last week, noting that he has been getting some playing time with the U21s, but has yet to complete ninety minutes since injuring his thigh in March. He may make a brief appearance late in the season, but the exact likelihood of that remains uncertain. Expected return date: unknown.
