Injury Updates: Key Liverpool Players Liverpool’s preparations for the match against Chelsea have been somewhat disrupted by injuries.

Striker Isak missed the Reds’ previous defeat to Manchester United on May 3 due to a minor injury but has since returned to training. Head coach Arne Slot provided an update on his recovery, noting that the player had participated in training sessions leading up to the game: “Alex trains with us again, only yesterday for the first time. So that’s a positive.

” Mamardashvili, who has missed the past two matches due to a leg injury, is expected to resume training on Friday, with Slot hopeful that the goalkeeper could make a return to action soon. “Giorgi will train with us today for the first time, so let’s see how he’s going to react,” said Slot. However, Liverpool will continue to be without goalkeeper Alisson Becker and forward Mohamed Salah, who are still not back in training.

Long-term absentees include Stefan Bajcetic, Conor Bradley, Hugo Ekitike, Wataru Endo, and Giovanni Leoni. In addition, Slot assured fans that both Ibrahima Konate and Florian Wirtz are fit and available for selection after minor concerns earlier in the week. “Ibou had a personal reason not to be there, but he was there yesterday and today again,” explained Slot.
