Liverpool return to action on Wednesday night when they take on Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. But the Reds head to the French capital on the back of a demoralising defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup.
The Reds’ hopes of salvaging domestic silverware from a disappointing season were crushed in a 4-0 quarter-final defeat at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick while Antoine Semenyo was also on target.
And as the Reds prepare to head to the Parc des Princes, we have rounded up the latest injury news.

Alexander Isak
Isak resumed team training late last week after a three-and-a-half-month injury lay-off. The forward underwent surgery for an ankle injury that included a fibula fracture.
He was in contention to make the bench on Saturday, but after not being included in his side’s matchday squad, Slot explained ahead of kick-off: I was hoping the same [that Isak would be among the substitutes on Saturday], but you always do these things in co-operation with medical staff, performance staff and the player himself.
“We came to the conclusion that it was better for him to have a few more sessions than only one or two and then immediately jump into a game like this, where if you bring him in, there might be extra-time.
“The situation is now that I hope – again, I hope – that he will be available for Wednesday, but today came too early for him.”
Potential return date: Wednesday, April 8 vs PSG (A)
Alisson Becker
Alisson has missed his side’s last two matches due to a hamstring injury, but Arne Slot expects the Brazil international to return before the end of the season.
"He will not be part of the Paris Saint-Germain games as well,” he said on Friday. “He will be out for a bit longer. Towards the end of the season we expect him to be fit again."
Potential return date: Unknown

Conor Bradley
The defender is not expected to play for Liverpool again this season after undergoing surgery on a knee injury he picked up against Arsenal in January.
Speaking after surgery, Bradley confirmed: "A big blow, but surgery is done,in, so the comeback starts now. It won't be for a little while, but I already can't wait to get back playing for Liverpool FC and Northern Ireland."
Potential return date: Next season
Wataru Endo
Endo has not played since February's trip to the Stadium of Light in February, in which he had to be stretchered off the pitch due to a foot injury. Speaking back in February, Slot said: "Wata will be out for a long time. We don't know exactly how long – but long."
Potential return date: Next season

Stefan Bajcetic
Bajcetic is yet to make an appearance for the Reds so far this season, and speaking back in January, Slot said: "He's not training yet. So, he constantly gets close to the team and then he has a little setback and then comes close and has a little setback, so we're hoping and expecting to have him very soon, again.
"But at that moment of time he trains with us again, then he's been out for six, seven, eight months [with] no first-team training. So, as much as I'd like to have him back, we have to manage the expectations with him as well."
Potential return date: Unknown
Giovanni Leoni
Leoni has been out of action since sustaining an ACL injury during September's Carabao Cup clash with Southampton. He is not expected to return until 2026/27.
Confirming the defender’s injury last year, Slot said: "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."
Potential return date: Next season
