Liverpool Injury Update Ahead of Merseyside Derby!
🔴 Arne Slot has shared the latest on key Liverpool players as the Reds prepare to face Everton at Anfield on Wednesday night. With the Merseyside Derby looming, fitness concerns remain over Alisson Becker, Conor Bradley, and Ryan Gravenberch, while Trent Alexander-Arnold is still unavailable.
🩺 Key Updates from Slot’s Press Conference:
✅ Ryan Gravenberch: The Dutch midfielder is expected to be available, but Liverpool will monitor him in their final training session before making a decision. Slot is optimistic about his return.
✅ Alisson Becker: The Brazilian goalkeeper has returned to training, which is a big boost for Liverpool. However, a final medical check-up will take place after training to confirm if he’s fit enough to start against Everton.
⚠️ Conor Bradley: The young right-back has resumed training, but Slot remains cautious about rushing him back after a long-term injury. The decision on his involvement—whether he starts or is used as a substitute—will be made closer to the game. Slot emphasized the need to make a “smart decision” to avoid any setbacks.
🚫 Trent Alexander-Arnold: The right-back remains unavailable due to the injury he sustained before the international break, meaning Liverpool will have to continue without one of their most influential playmakers.
🔥 What This Means for Liverpool
With a crucial derby on the horizon, Liverpool fans will be eager to see Alisson back in goal, while Gravenberch’s return could provide much-needed depth in midfield. However, Bradley’s potential return will be managed carefully, and Trent’s absence continues to be a blow for Slot’s side.
