Liverpool are enjoying a rare week-long break before they return to action against Newcastle United on New Year's Day.
The Reds signed off 2023 with a 2-0 victory over Burnley. Jurgen Klopp's side are firmly in the Premier League title race and although the Liverpool boss will be hoping to get as many players back as possible. Diogo Jota made a return to action against Burnley after a hamstring issue as he came off the bench to bag the Reds' second goal in the 90th minute.
Ahead of Newcastle's visit to Anfield, here's a look at the current Liverpool injury list and when some players may be back available.
1. Joe Gomez - illness
A flu outbreak meant that the defender, who has been in outstanding form of late, could not feature against Burnley. Gomez did report for duty on the eve of the game but was sent home as he had a temperature. That suggests he should be back for the Reds’ next match. Potential return game: Brentford (A), Saturday 17 February.
2. Trent Alexander-Arnold - knee
The Liverpool vice-captain was forced at half-time against Burnley with a recurrence of an issue that saw him miss four matches recently. Alexander-Arnold got his studs stuck in the ground and was not risked. The right-back was not overly concerned by his problem but further assessment was required. Potential return game: Brentford (A), Saturday 17 February
3. Mo Salah - hamstring
It is approaching four weeks since Liverpool’s talisman suffered his setback representing Egypt at the African Cup of Nations. The Reds have coped without Salah bar their loss at title rivals Arsenal. There is a chance that the winger could be back in parts of training this week, which could see him back in the squad at Brentford. Potential return game: Brentford (A), Saturday 17 February or Luton (H), Wednesday 21 February.
4. Alisson Becker - illness
Klopp admitted that his No.1 goalkeeper could not eat or sleep ahead of the Burnley game, so Caoimhin Kelleher deputised superbly. Much will depend on how Alisson recovers from his sickness. Potential return game: Brentford (A), Saturday 17 February
