Liverpool sealed an impressive 1-0 Champions League victory over Real Madrid at home on Tuesday evening. Alexis Mac Allister scored the only goal, ensuring Trent Alexander-Arnold's first game back at Anfield ended in defeat.
Curtis Jones was the only player to return from the treatment room, having missed Liverpool's last two games with a groin issue. The victory keeps the Reds in contention for a top-eight finish and direct qualification to the knockout rounds.
Next up is a trip to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday to face Manchester City, with just one point separating the sides. Arne Slot is still managing several injury concerns but hopes at least one or two players will return.

With that said, the ECHO has taken a look at other injury news following the win over Real Madrid.
Alexander Isak
Injury: Groin.
The Sweden international has missed Liverpool's last four matches after sustaining the injury during last month's Champions League win over Eintracht Frankfurt.
What Slot has said: "With Alex, we have to wait and see. Definitely not starting on Sunday, but maybe he can be involved in the squad."
Potential return date: November 9 (A) - Manchester City.
Jeremie Frimpong
Injury: Hamstring.
What Slot has said: "Jeremie and Alisson will both also not be available for Sunday."

Potential return date: November 22 (H) - Nottingham Forest.
Alisson Becker
Injury: Hamstring.
What Slot has said: "Jeremie and Alisson will both also not be available for Sunday."
Potential return date: November 22 (H) - Nottingham Forest.
Giovanni Leoni
Injury: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL).
What Slot has said: "He is not in a good place because he tore his ACL, which means he will be out around a year. Being so young and coming to a new country and playing so well in your first game, it's very hard to take the positives.
"But you try to look at that, and that is that he is still so young, and he has so many years still to go after he recovers."
Potential return date: Pre-season 2026.
