LIVERPOOL INJURY UPDATE: THE LATEST ON DIOGO JOTA, FEDERICO CHIESA, ALISSON BECKER, AND MORE.

Liverpool Injury Update: Alisson, Federico Chiesa, Diogo Jota, and Others Following their diligently fought 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Anfield,

Liverpool’s injury list has expanded. Diogo Jota was the most recent addition, which caused concern among supporters and the club in anticipation of critical matches. The Reds are preparing for their Champions League match against RB Leipzig in midweek, and manager Arne Slot is confronted with some difficult decisions. Diogo Jota’s Setback After only 30 minutes of playing in Liverpool’s victory over Chelsea, Diogo Jota was substituted by Darwin Nunez. Liverpool’s medical personnel will evaluate the Portuguese forward, who has been a critical component of the team’s offense this season. Arne Slot, the manager, suggested that Jota may be absent from the forthcoming European match against RB Leipzig. After the Chelsea match, Slot stated, “I am uncertain as to what it is, but I would be surprised if he is present on Wednesday.” The Reds are dealt a substantial setback by Jota’s absence, particularly in light of the upcoming busy fixture schedule. Potential return date: Unknown Federico Chiesa is experiencing difficulty with his physical fitness. Federico Chiesa’s fitness issues have persisted, as he has now been absent from Liverpool’s last four matches. Since his summer transfer from Juventus, the Italian winger has been an unsatisfactory absentee. Since joining, Chiesa has encountered difficulty in maintaining his fitness and has not yet achieved the desired level of influence.

Slot provided an update on Chiesa’s situation prior to Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Bologna. “Federico trained with us yesterday and presented with some issues today. I do not anticipate his participation in the team tomorrow.” Slot does not anticipate that Chiesa will be absent for a protracted period, despite these setbacks. Nevertheless, Liverpool is now without an additional attacking option as a result of his absence. Potential return date: Wednesday, October 23, against RB Leipzig Sidelined: Conor Bradley Another notable absentee from the Chelsea match was Conor Bradley. The right-back was recently appointed as the captain of Northern Ireland during the international break; however, he was declared unfit to participate at Anfield. Liverpool’s defensive depth is significantly diminished by his absence, particularly given that Trent Alexander-Arnold has only recently recovered from his own injury concern.
