I would be amazed if we buy anyone.

[rocco]

Hope the story in the Echo is wrong, saying that we might not bother buying a new centre back in the winter window.

If the player we want is available in Jan I’m convinced we will , if not available we won’t just buy a CB

[redgriffin73]

Just been confirmed in the press conference that Thiago, Matip and Keita are unlikely to make it tomorrow.

[rawcusk8]

Thiago, Naby and Matip won’t feature tomorrow against Midgetland. Klopp saying it’s the same situation, day by day monitoring.

[redtel]

I would be amazed if we buy anyone.

With Virgil out and Matip being his normal injury prone self, we are left with Gomez and stand-in Fabinho who does look at home there.

Looks like Klopp is ready to rely on Nat Phillips or one of the younger CBs in the event of an injury or suspension. If not we absolutely need another experienced CB. Probably we are not broadcasting it as the price will rocket if we say now we are buying in January.

I would be amazed if we didn't

[Knight]

What’s up with Naby? I thought he was out due to Covid? Or did it actually make him ill and he’s suffering from after effects?

[killer-heels]

What’s up with Naby? I thought he was out due to Covid? Or did it actually make him ill and he’s suffering from after effects?

Surely he must be injured? He returned back after a negative test and then took part in a couple of training sessions.

[jillcwhomever]

I would be amazed if we didn't

It’s not Klopp’s way though. He doesn’t just buy someone because we have an injury. He’s more likely to work with what he has.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Surely he must be injured? He returned back after a negative test and then took part in a couple of training sessions.

You are correct. He trained after he came back from internationally duty and whatever test he took there. But he was obviously injured in training.

[JC the Messiah]

You are correct. He trained after he came back from internationally duty and whatever test he took there. But he was obviously injured in training.

Did he walk off from his injury? I always find that's a good indicator of the severity...

[Big Dirk]

Matip and Keita are now getting tiresome with all these injuries they simply can’t be relied upon,I’m sure the managers patience will eventually run out.

[phil236849]

I thought Ox would be back by now. Am I missing something?

[deFacto please, you bastards]

I thought Ox would be back by now. Am I missing something?

There was never a timeline set by the manager or the club.

[CraigDS]

I thought Ox would be back by now. Am I missing something?

Yeah, he's still injured.

[exiledintheUSA]

I thought Ox would be back by now. Am I missing something?

Still in rehab.  Klopp spoke about him last week - "Oxlade is obviously in a long-term rehab, but looks good and is in a good mood usually."

[John C]

Note new title. You've got a Squad and Rotation thread for anything that doesn't given accurate and informative news.
https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=334841.0

Please keep this thread so posters can follow actual developments without wading through speculation and formations.

I thinks that's a fair request.

[Jm55]

According to Maddock there’s optimism that Fabinho’s injury will be weeks, rather than months;

‘Word late tonight is, Liverpool hopeful Fabinho hamstring problem not quite as serious as first thought.
He’ll be scanned in morning for confirmation. But could be weeks, not months.’

[Crosby Nick]

Still in rehab.  Klopp spoke about him last week - "Oxlade is obviously in a long-term rehab, but looks good and is in a good mood usually."

What actually happened to Ox and when did he get injured?
Who’s currently out?...

Van Dijk
Matip
Fabinho
Tsimikas
Thiago
Keita
Ox

Any more for any more? Those last four aren’t helping in terms of finding solutions to who can play CB and allowing others to move back there. Or with lack of rotation. Is Henderson’s fitness still a slight concern too? His minutes are being managed quite heavily.

[TepidT2O]

Dave Maddock reporting that Fabinho’s hamstring isn’t as bad as feared.  Grade1/2, so he will be back after the international break...

[TepidT2O]

Who mate ? I'm genuinely confused about who is and who isn't having a scan these days.

Fabinho.

[farawayred]

Echo is saying no time frame has been set, and that more will be revealed by Klopp tomorrow.

Fabinho?

In general, can you guys mention the name of the player when you give information? It's not like we have one injured player, and him/he pronounces are not very helpful...

[Motty]

What's going on with Tsmiskas?

[Nick110581]

James Pearce confirmed that Fab ruled out by Brazil.

Hamstring injury but no timescale.

Paul Joyce saying

Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold set to be out for up to four weeks following injury against Manchester City.

[Nick110581]

Gomez injured according to Joyce.

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez suffered an injury during training with England today. Gareth Southgate is likely to provide an update this evening at a press conference ahead of the Republic of Ireland game.

[On Axis]

From Paul Joyce:

"Joe Gomez has today had successful surgery on a tendon in his left knee. Liverpool not ruling out he could play again this season."

[Fordy]

Liverpool Football Club can confirm Joe Gomez has today undergone successful surgery to repair a tendon in his left knee.

The centre-back sustained the injury during a training session with the England national team on Wednesday.

The issue was isolated to Gomez’s tendon, with no damage to any other associated knee ligaments.

The operation to correct the damage, which took place in London on Thursday morning, was a success and the 23-year-old will make a full recovery.

Gomez will begin a rehabilitation programme with the Reds’ medical team immediately, with club staff carefully monitoring his progress.

No timescale is being placed upon his return, though the issue is likely to rule him out for a significant part of the remainder of 2020-21.

Andy Robertson was not involved in Scotland’s 1-0 defeat by Slovakia but is making the trip for their clash with Israel on Wednesday night.

“We could have done with another 24 hours going into this game, we had three or four knocks on the bench, which is maybe why some of the players that people might have expected to come onto the pitch at some stage, didn’t,” said Scotland manager Steve Clarke.

“Andy’s injury is a little bit more significant than everybody else’s but we’ve still got a few days to go before we get to Israel. He’s coming with us, he’s on the plane. And hopefully he is fit and available.”

Fabinho and Thiago not back in training yet.

[killer-heels]

Apparently Rhys Williams has left the England squad. Could have ramifications for the Atalanta game.

[bogrollsbike]

https://www.football365.com/news/liverpool-defender-ruled-out-of-england-u21-squad

Going to need to get Uri Geller on board if this shit keeps up.

https://www.football365.com/news/liverpool-defender-ruled-out-of-england-u21-squad

Going to need to get Uri Geller on board if this shit keeps up.

Aidy Boothroyd said it there was no real issue and that Williams was released as a precaution.

Reading between the lines, I think Robbo will be rested by Scotland and available vs Leicester. But what about Henderson? Is there any chance he makes it for Sunday?

I think the club are hopeful he'll be fine

[Suareznumber7]

Does anyone have a full list of all currently injured players and when they are expected to return?  It's a little hard to keep track of at the moment. 

[Bend It Like Aurelio]

From the training video, looks like Henderson is not training, though he was at Kirkby. Chamberlain was shown doing rehab, perhaps needs more strengthening still.

[Elzar]

Surgery takes a little while to recover from, I'd say another 3-4 weeks or so for him

[Hedley Lamarr]

Salah tested positive again.
