Liverpool injury update, suspension list and return dates vs. Fulham: Alexander Isak, Joe Gomez Florian Wirtz update ahead of Fulham clash…

Liverpool’s injury and suspension updates along with return dates for the match against Fulham: Latest on Alexander Isak and Joe Gomez.

Liverpool faces a new injury challenge as Arne Slot announces a setback for Florian Wirtz ahead of the Fulham match.

The Reds anticipate the return of one defender as the German player is ruled out.

Arne Slot’s injury concerns will ease somewhat before Liverpool’s match against Fulham, as Joe Gomez is expected to resume first-team training, although there are still worries regarding Florian Wirtz’s fitness.

The Reds have been plagued by injuries this season, with significant summer signings Alexander Isak, Jeremie Frimpong, and Wirtz all sidelined for periods.

The defense has suffered the most, with Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate having to play almost continuously due to injuries to Gomez and 18-year-old Giovanni Leoni.

However, in a significant boost for Liverpool, Gomez is on track to return to first-team training before the Reds travel to south-west London this weekend.

Slot elaborated, noting that the German is dealing with a minor hamstring issue.

“Florian has only participated in one training session this week because two days after the match, he felt some discomfort in his hamstring,” the Dutch coach stated.

It remains uncertain if he will be fit to play against Fulham, but Cody Gakpo’s recovery at least gives Slot another option on the left side.

Liverpool aims to get back to winning form in the Premier League as they visit Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon to face Fulham.

The Reds will approach the game following a 0-0 draw with Leeds United; Arne Slot’s team currently sits fourth in the Premier League standings, trailing leaders Arsenal by 12 points.
