Liverpool still have several players on the sidelines with injury after their win over Brighton in the FA Cup. The Reds claimed a 3-0 win over the Seagulls in the fourth-round tie at Anfield on Saturday night.
Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah scored the goals that sent Arne Slot’s side through to the fifth round of the competition.
However, Liverpool were forced to have several players on the sidelines with injury for the clash against Brighton, but did not suffer any fresh concerns in the win on Saturday night.
Wataru Endo missed the win over Brighton with an ankle injury, while Jeremie Frimpong is continuing to recover from a thigh injury.
Alexander Isak, Giovanni Leoni and Conor Bradley remain unavailable with long-term injuries, with Liverpool now looking ahead to February 22, where they will face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League in their next match.

Here, the ECHO takes a look at Liverpool’s current injury list and potential return dates after their win over Brighton in the FA Cup.
Alexander Isak
Alexander Isak is stepping up his recovery after suffering an ankle injury and a fractured fibula back in December.
After undergoing surgery for the injury, Isak was photographed returning to the gym and doing some light ball work at the AXA Training Centre on Friday,
There is no clear timeframe for when Liverpool hope to have their £125million summer signing back available.
Potential return date: April/May
Wataru Endo
Wataru Endo suffered an ankle injury during Liverpool’s win over Sunderland in the Premier League on February 11.
Liverpool are still waiting to discover the full extent of the injury, with Slot recently offering an update on the Japan international.
"We still need to do some assessments but it's clear and obvious that he will be out for quite a long time," Slot said on Friday.
"Don't forget that he's a good centre-back and a good midfielder as well. If you look at the number six position or the two centre-back positions, we are quite vulnerable there as well if something happens. Let's try to make sure the players we have remain fit."
Potential return date: Unknown.

Jeremie Frimpong is currently recovering from a thigh injury, which has kept the right-back on the sidelines for the last four matches across all competitions.
Frimpong picked up the injury during Liverpool’s win over Qarabag in the Champions League last month, with the expectation that the Netherlands international would be unavailable for “a few weeks”.
Potential return date: Sunday, February 22 vs Nottingham Forest (A)
Giovanni Leoni
Giovanni Leoni suffered an ACL injury on his Liverpool debut back in September and is expected to remain sidelined for the rest of the season.
Liverpool will hope to have the defender available for the start of pre-season training in July.
Potential return date: Next season
Conor Bradley
Conor Bradley suffered a knee injury during the goalless draw with Arsenal in the Premier League back in January and is not expected to return before the end of the season.
As a result, Liverpool will now be hoping to have the Northern Ireland international make a recovery in time for the start of pre-season in the summer.
Potential return date: Next season
