Fulham 2-2 Liverpool: Watch free highlights

​​​​​​Last updated on January 5

Wataru Endo

The midfielder has been out of action with an ankle injury since appearing in the 3-3 draw at Leeds United on December 6.

Hugo Ekitike

Ekitike was unavailable for the clash with Fulham on January 4 because of a minor hamstring issue.

Arne Slot said on the day of that game: "Alexander Isak has been out for a few weeks now. That has meant that Hugo had to play more minutes than he did throughout the whole season.

"That has led to the fact that he picked up a slight hamstring injury, because we had to play him more and more and more minutes.

"For a player that's his age and is not used to the Premier League completely, that has been a bit too much. So, that's why he will be out for today and hopefully be back for the Arsenal game, but that's definitely not sure yet."

Alexander Isak

Isak is facing a spell on the sidelines after undergoing surgery on an ankle injury that included a fibula fracture on December 22.

He sustained the issue while scoring against Tottenham Hotspur two days prior.

Slot on December 23: "It's going to be a long injury. For a couple of months. That's a big, big, big disappointment for him and as a result of that of course also for us."

Slot did also confirm he is confident Isak will be able to play again during the 2025-26 season.

Giovanni Leoni

The defender is amid a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury at the end of his debut against Southampton in the Carabao Cup.

Slot on September 26: "He is not in a good place, of course, because he tore his ACL and it means he will be out for 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 positive side.

"There's never a positive side – but you always try to look at a positive side and that is that he is still so young, so he has so many years still to go after he recovers from a terrible injury like that."

Availability

Mohamed Salah

After featuring off the bench versus Brighton on December 13, the forward is now with Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Salah scored in the group games against Zimbabwe and South Africa to help his country reach the last 16. They are next in action on January 5.

Suspensions

Conor Bradley

Bradley is one yellow card away from receiving a one-match suspension in the Champions League.

The Reds travel to Marseille on January 21 for matchday seven of the league phase and then host Qarabag a week later.
