Liverpool FC faces injury concerns as key players, including Alisson Becker and Curtis Jones, are sidelined. The team's quest for silverware this season is at stake as they prepare for upcoming matches.
Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota
During the win over Brentford, Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota sustained injuries and were forced to leave the field. Both players will miss the Carabao Cup final and have undergone scans to assess the extent of their ankle and knee injuries. Jota's recovery period is estimated to be around eight weeks, while Jones' injury severity is still unknown.
Possible return dates: Jones - unknown, Jota - six to eight weeks.
Alisson Becker and Trent Alexander-Arnold
Alisson Becker, who was set to return after recovering from flu, suffered a setback in training and missed the match against Brentford. He is expected to miss the upcoming game against Luton and might not be able to feature against Manchester City next month. Trent Alexander-Arnold, who recently returned from injury, has suffered a recurrence of the same injury and will be out for a couple more weeks.
Possible return dates: Alisson - unknown, Alexander-Arnold - after the Carabao Cup final.
Darwin Núñez and Dominik Szoboszlai
Darwin Núñez had to be taken off during the first half against Brentford due to muscle pain, which was later confirmed as a precautionary measure. His return date is uncertain, but the hope is for a quick recovery. Dominik Szoboszlai is also likely to miss the upcoming matches, and it remains uncertain if he will be fit for the Wembley final.
Possible return dates: Núñez - unknown, Szoboszlai - next weekend or soon after.
Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah made a successful return from injury against Brentford, contributing a goal and an assist. However, there have been claims of a recurrence of his hamstring problem. The extent of Salah's injury will be revealed by Jürgen Klopp.
Possible return date: If not fit for Luton, then hopefully for the Chelsea match or shortly after.
