Nunez, Diaz, Thiago: full Liverpool injury list and potential return matches - gallery
Liverpool injury news on Darwin Nunez and four more players during the international break.
Liverpool’s season has come to a pause due to the international break.
And because of the Premier League fixture against Fulham being postponed last weekend, the Reds will not have a game for a total of 17 days before they next face Manchester City on Saturday 1 April.
It’s certainly been a frustrating campaign for Jurgen Klopp’s side. Having gone close to an unprecedented quadruple last term, winning the FA Cup and Carabao Cup, a trophy will not be won this time around.
Liverpool crashed out of the Champions League at the hands of Real Madrd almost a week ago. The Reds faced an almost impossible task in the last-16 second-leg tie at the Santiago Bernabeu following a 5-2 loss in the first clash at Anfield. Klopp’s men succumbed to a meek 1-0 defeat in the Spanish capital to exit the competition.
Now all Liverpool can hope for is a top-four finish in the Premier League. They certainly have a battle on their hands, with the sixth-placed Reds trailing Tottenham, in fourth, by seven points.
Injuries have played their part to why Liverpool have struggled this term. Here is a current lo
1. Luis Diaz - knee
The winger is back in training and Klopp has confirmed he’s set to be involved in a match-day squad for the first time in six months. Potential return: Leeds (A), Monday 17 April.
2. Alisson Becker - knock
The keeper was forced to miss training earlier this week. Alisson was scheduled for an individual session on Friday, though, and he might have enough time to recover. Potential return: Leeds (A), Monday 17 April.
