Topic: Injury (and absence) related chat (so the news is kept in the other thread)

So the Ox injury is still being assessed but the club are hopeful it’s short term…where have we heard this before!Take a couple of injections,bandage it up and play ffs.

Klopp hopeful Harvey Elliott will be available for selection "after the International break", while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could be in contention to face Palace on Sunday.

Says Joel Matip was "not 100 per cent", hence sub last night, but didn't mention a specific problem.

Hope Matip is ok and not one of his little problems that turns serious.

I hope this is not too serious.
We need everyone fit ASAP.

good news on Ox and hopefully Harvey Elliot. that would be like a new signing if he can start on subs bench in Feb.
Our current subs bench is devoid of creative attacking quality at the moment. Although that changes after AFCON.

not having Origi, Thiago, even Ox for this period has not helped our Prem league form.

Any mention when Origi will return?

That's him out until April then isn't it

It sounds like the tackle that saw Partey get sent off may have left something on Fabinho.  From Klopp: "Yes, we got knocks, proper knocks. The second yellow from Partey against Fabinho, that was a proper knock.".  Hopefully nothing in it.

Could have been a straight red.

should have been a straight red.

this guy seems to have the credentials required to make this kind of statement, but I don't know what his track record is like, or if he's just looking for clicks ....?

Liverpool starlet Harvey Elliott will treat the next “four to six weeks” as a pre-season programme before his eventual return from injury.

That is the view of injury expert Ben Dinnery, who runs the Premier Injuries site and has a background in medicine and data analysis.

as noted on the other board - this Dinner guy is just speculating.

Klopp on Harvey Elliott: "It's outstanding to have him back. He's an outstanding boy. He was out for a long time so we cannot rush it, but he looked directly like he could play! I'm pretty sure after the international break he should be ready. I'm pretty sure after the international break he should be ready."

I know that "pretty sure" is a qualifier - but he sees Harvey daily.

Oh sugar, do we have another pointless international break coming up, far too much of this crap going on

He's back in full training this week so i'd assume he's already effectively had 'a pre-season'. He just won't be match fit.

They'll want to see how he responds to first team training for 2 or 3 weeks before throwing him into a match. The Cardiff game would be the logical one to make his return. Possibly an under 23 game.

Thankfully its not too bad as its only the South American and Asian qualifiers and Bobby hasn't been picked so its just Fab, Alli and Taki.

Ali a bit short of match time as well over the last month. Taki as well could do with the minutes.

I don't know Dinnery from a hole in the ground, but "after the international break" and "four to six weeks" aren't mutually exclusive.  and Jurgen is consistently optimistic about return dates.

we'll see I guess ..... but I do expect the club to be extremely cautious with Harvey.  when he's back, I want him to stay back.

I'd guess the Cardiff game is the one they've earmarked to play him in, assuming he's ready. Even if briefly from the bench.

2 weeks ...hmmm. could be.  if we are playing out the last 10 minutes and there's nothing left for the Cardiff team to really play for, sure.


(LOL like I know!)

Some very important returnees coming soon to help build momentum into the end of the season- Mo, Sadio, Naby, Thiago, Elliott and Origi back in the next 10 days or so which will really strengthen our options and allow for some more rotation

[DelTrotter]

Hopefully Thiago can go straight in v Cardiff, need him ready for Inter and the cup final. He's gonna be vital v Chelsea especially.

If all our players come back healthy from afcon and elliot, origi and thiago as expected are fit then we could have no inured player come cardiff on the 6th of feb.

I think we'll go full strength against Cardiff (maybe excluding any potential AFCON players back or Alisson/Fabinho back from internationals).

We won't want to go into the next league game cold. With the 5 subs we can utilise players who need minutes returning from injury.

[Knight]

Our season rests on how many games Thiago can be fit for.

Now you've gone and done it

[royhendo]

6th Feb is the AFCON final so at the latest it’ll be what? Leicester?

of course it can be clicked on, but if you've no idea what it is, why bother?  it could be something you have zero interest in, or have seen already.

a line or two of description goes a long way.

Not just your post or this link, it happens a lot which is very frustrating.

A description does help, but to be fair, I saw Thiago6 in the URL and that was enough for me to click it
