Liverpool’s trip to Molineux on Tuesday night comes with the stakes cranked right up in the top‑four race. Sitting just outside the Champions League places, Arne Slot’s side know that three points against bottom‑club Wolves are non‑negotiable if they want to keep the pressure on Manchester United and Aston Villa in the coming weeks.
Liverpool arrives in the Midlands on the back of an upturn in form and a five‑goal hammering of West Ham that hauled them into fifth, within touching distance of the Champions League spots
The fixture list elsewhere sharpens the sense that this is an opportunity Liverpool cannot waste. Manchester United, currently occupying one of the top‑four positions, face a tricky midweek trip to Newcastle before hosting Aston Villa.
Villa themselves have Chelsea at home and then that potential six‑pointer away at Old Trafford on the horizon, so at least one direct rival is guaranteed to be taking points off the other while Liverpool focus on simply taking care of business against Wolves.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at the injury lists for both Liverpool and Wolves ahead of Tuesday evening’s clash:
Hee-Chan Hwang – doubt
Hwang is dealing with a calf/shin/heel issue, with his club indicating he is back in training but only being “assessed”.
The expectation is that he is unlikely to start against Liverpool and may only make the squad if he comes through late checks.
Ladislav Krejci – out
Krejci is suspended after being sent off for two yellow cards in his last outing. He is ruled out of tomorrow’s game and will play no part at Anfield.
Enso Gonzalez Medina – out
Medina is sidelined following a knee injury that required an arthroscopy earlier in February. His club have placed no firm return date on his comeback and he remains ruled out for the trip to Liverpool.
Conor Bradley – out
Bradley suffered a significant knee injury with bone and ligament damage in January and has already undergone surgery. He will likely be out for the remainder of the season as things stand.
Giovanni Leoni – out
The Italian defender remains in rehabilitation for an ACL rupture sustained last September.
Wataru Endo – out
Endo is sidelined by an ankle problem with the Japan head coach confirming that he underwent surgery in a bid to be fit for the 2026 World Cup.
Alexander Isak – out
Isak has undergone surgery on an ankle issue that also involved a fibula fracture and is at the start of his recovery spell. Slot has said he does not expect the striker back until around the end of March or the start of April, ruling him out of facing Wolves.
Florian Wirtz – out
Wirtz is another attacker on Liverpool’s injury list, with Arne Slot confirming that he does not expect the German international to feature tomorrow evening as he nurses a back injury.
Joe Gomez – doubt
In the build‑up, Slot has spoken cautiously about Gomez, stressing that while he has trained and featured recently, the staff must be careful with his muscle issue. The manager hinted that starting him carries some risk, suggesting his involvement from the outset against Wolves is not guaranteed.
Jeremie Frimpong – doubt
Slot has also raised doubts over Frimpong, explaining that won’t be rushed back after his recent setback.
