The November internationals are here, and Liverpool FC sit fourth place in the Premier League table, at this current FIFA window. The Reds are off until Nov 22, when they’ll resume play with a home clash against arch-rivals Manchester United. As we do each and every international break, it’s time to go over the injury list, with the most recent updates that have been made available. For the Reds, the list is six deep: Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, Jeremie Frimpong, Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni and Hugo Ekitike. So without any further ado, let’s get after it.

Dominik Szoboszlai
Szobo picked up a knee injury/issue/problem of some sort over the weekend, but he did play through it, to some extent, in the win over Crystal Palace. Eventually however, Szoboszlai had to come off early, as he exited in the 70′.
The Hungarian Football Federation have not provided any information beyond what Reds boss Andoni Iraola said in post-match:
“I don’t know [if it’s] a problem, but he definitely wasn’t 100 percent. Let’s see. The last thing we need now is to lose players in the international games. I think he extended a little bit the knee, it was fine, but not 100 percent, so he has to be careful to see if he can play with the national team or not.”
Stay tuned on this one.

Ryan Gravenberch
On Friday, Iraola described the heel injury to Gravenberch as “a day-to-day thing – a matter of pain.” Prior to these remarks, it was already determined that he would miss out on Netherlands duty this week, and next. It does sound like the rest will do him good though, and he should fine for the Northwest England derby in 13 days time.
Jeremie Frimpong
He’s got a thigh injury that has kept him out for some time, but he should be in contention for the next match; probably.
Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni and Hugo Ekitike
Liverpool’s trio of long-term injured, none of them will return until sometime in early 2027.
