Liverpool injury update: Latest news and return dates for Alexander Isak, Ryan Gravenberch, and Jeremie Frimpong.

Isak, Gravenberch, Alisson – Updates on Liverpool’s injuries and expected return dates before facing Crystal Palace.

The most recent updates on Liverpool’s injuries and anticipated return dates as the Reds prepare for their EFL Cup match against Crystal Palace, after experiencing a poor streak in the Premier League.

The Reds are struggling after suffering four consecutive defeats in the Premier League, compounded by fitness concerns as they face crucial matches ahead.

Liverpool experienced their fourth straight Premier League loss, falling 3-2 to Brentford on Saturday.

The team now trails leaders Arsenal by seven points, and Arne Slot understands the urgency to regain form with significant games approaching.

Next up, Liverpool will take on Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, followed by important fixtures in early November against Aston Villa, Real Madrid, and Manchester City.

As they prepare for these pivotal weeks, here’s the latest on Liverpool’s injury situation and expected return dates…

Alexander Isak

Alexander Isak has had a challenging beginning at Anfield.

He was substituted at half-time during Liverpool’s victory over Frankfurt in the Champions League last week, and Slot later disclosed that the £125 million summer acquisition had sustained a minor groin injury.

“Alexander had to leave the game at half-time because he felt some discomfort in his groin. It’s unfortunate,” Slot commented.

“I have mentioned before that finding the right balance with a player who has been out for three months is quite challenging.”

Isak was absent from the squad against Brentford, and Slot did not provide any updates regarding his status.

Potential return date: Unknown

Ryan Gravenberch

Ryan Gravenberch suffered a hamstring injury while on international duty earlier this month and subsequently twisted his ankle during the match against Manchester United.

He tried to continue after receiving treatment but was eventually substituted and missed the trip to Frankfurt.

Slot had hoped Gravenberch would be available for the match against Brentford, but the midfielder did not travel to west London.

Slot stated: “It’s an ankle injury; we need to be patient and see how he is when we return from Frankfurt.”

Potential return date: Wednesday, October 29 vs Crystal Palace (H)

Jeremie Frimpong

Jeremie Frimpong has just begun his Liverpool journey a few months ago, yet he is already encountering a second period on the sidelines.

He sustained a hamstring injury during his Premier League debut against Bournemouth and experienced a similar setback against Frankfurt last week.

Slot mentioned that he anticipates Frimpong will be out for “a few weeks.”

He stated: “Jeremie is dealing with a hamstring issue. He returned from a hamstring injury a few weeks back and played one match for the national team, but upon returning to us, unfortunately, after 10 or 15 minutes, I’m not sure, he had to leave the field.”

Expected return date: November/December

Curtis Jones

Curtis Jones began the match against Brentford but requested to be substituted in the second half after sustaining an injury.

The specific nature or severity of his injury remains unclear, but Slot did not appear overly concerned about his condition when he addressed the media after the match.

He remarked: “We need to wait and see. He requested to be taken off. He walked off without requiring extensive treatment, so I will have to wait and see.”

Expected return date: Unknown

Alisson Becker

Alisson Becker incurred a hamstring injury during the match against Galatasaray in September.

Ahead of the Brentford match, Slot commented: “Alisson will not be part of the squad tomorrow. His recovery will take a bit longer.”

Slot had earlier indicated that Alisson was several weeks away from returning, but the upcoming match against Crystal Palace is likely to be too soon for him.

Expected return date: November

Giovanni Leoni

The young center-back Giovanni Leoni’s Liverpool career faced a harsh interruption when he suffered an ACL injury during his debut.

The 18-year-old made a strong impression in his initial moments wearing Liverpool colors as the Reds eliminated Southampton from the Carabao Cup, but he was carried off on a stretcher in the second half.

He subsequently underwent surgery and is anticipated to be out for a year.

“He’s not in a good place, of course,” Arne Slot said. “He tore his ACL, which means he will be sidelined for approximately a year.”

Expected return date: Late 2026
