Liverpool Injury Update: Latest on Alisson and Elliott’s Return Dates

The Reds are regaining momentum as their busy schedule continues.

Liverpool has bounced back impressively after their unexpected Premier League loss to Nottingham Forest, coming from behind to secure a 3-1 victory against AC Milan in the Champions League, followed by a commanding 3-0 win over Bournemouth in the League on Saturday.

This week has been encouraging for the club and may serve as a true indicator of the Slot era thus far. While challenges remain, the team has demonstrated their ability to recover from setbacks.

The Reds are set for another demanding week ahead, with a Carabao Cup match against West Ham on Wednesday, followed by an away game at Wolves on Saturday.

In light of this, here’s the latest on Liverpool’s injury situation.

Alisson Becker

The star goalkeeper, Alisson, sustained a muscle injury and was uncertain for the Bournemouth match. However, the fact that he was merely a doubt indicates that the injury may not be severe.

“He has a slight issue with one of his muscles, and we are considering whether this game is coming too soon for him,” Slot mentioned last week.

Expected return date: September/October 2024.

Harvey Elliott

Before the news about Alisson, Harvey Elliott was the sole injury concern for Liverpool. The midfielder suffered a fractured foot while on international duty with the England U21s and is anticipated to be sidelined for approximately a month.

“Harvey’s injury is a significant disappointment for him and for us. Although he didn’t feature much in the first three games, he had a strong pre-season and was poised for more playing time had he remained fit,” the Liverpool manager stated earlier this month.

Expected return date: October 2024.
