Liverpool will remain without Mo Salah for Burnley‘s visit in the Premier League, but there were no new injuries to add to the absentee list after action earlier this week.
The Reds progressed to the fourth round of the FA Cup on Monday and now switch their attention back to league action, with 17th-placed Burnley making the trip to Anfield.
The injury list has dwindled since last time after Hugo Ekitike and Wataru Endo marked their return to the squad, but Liverpool are still without:
Liverpool Injury & Absentee List
|Player|Injury Type|Status|Expected Return|
Rio Ngumoha Cramp Available Burnley (H)
Mohamed Salah AFCON Unavailable Marseille (A)
Conor Bradley Knee (Surgery) Unavailable Pre-season 2026
Giovanni Leoni ACL (Surgery) Unavailable Next season
Alexander Isak Fibula Fracture Unavailable Late March
Stefan Bajcetic Hamstring Rehab February
Jayden Danns Hamstring Rehab February
Thankfully, Slot declared no new injuries, which suggests Rio Ngumoha‘s issue late on against Barnsley proved nothing more than cramp.
Speaking on the eve of the clash, Slot said of his squad: “We’ve got a few injuries.
“**Giovanni Leoni** and Conor Bradley out for the season, and Alexander Isak out for multiple months. But for the rest, I think everyone else is available.”
Salah remains unavailable due to his Africa Cup of Nations commitments, which sees Egypt face Nigeria in a third-place playoff on Saturday, but he will be back next week.
That will further bolster attacking options after Ekitike’s goalscoring cameo on Monday, leaving only Isak sidelined.
Bradley has successfully undergone surgery and now starts his long road back to full fitness. His absence means Jeremie Frimpong and Joe Gomez will have to be carefully managed.
After making six changes for the visit of Barnsley, Slot will be expected to at least restore Alisson, Ibrahima Konate, Milos Kerkez, Ryan Gravenberch and Florian Wirtz to his XI.
Liverpool head into the fixture off the back of an 11-game unbeaten run across all competitions, while Burnley are without a league win in their last 12 outings.
