Liverpool aim to take a step closer to Wembley when they host Fulham in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Anfield on Wednesday.
The Reds head into the clash in strong form as they sit top of the Premier League and earned a 2-0 victory over Arsenal in the FA Cup third round last weekend. However, Jurgen Klopp's troops have problems when it comes to injury and availability. Ahead of the Fulham encounter, here's the latest squad news and when some players could return.
9. Thiago Alcantara - miscle
After making his first appearance in nine months at Arsenal following a hip complaint, Thiago suffered wretched luck and was consigned back to the treatment table. Potential return game: N/A
10. Stefan Bajcetic - growing pains
The Reds have been cautious with the 19-year-old given the nature of his injury. Klopp recently said it’ll be sooner rather than later before Bajcetic, who enjoyed a breakthrough season in 2022-23, is back for Liverpool. Potential return game: N/A
11. Joel Matip - knee
The defender continues his rehabilitation after requiring surgery in December. There’s no time frame on when Matip could be back, with some fears he might not play again this season. Potential return game: N/A
12. Ben Doak - knee
The 18-year-old winger has to go under the knife in December and he’s not expected to be back in the near future. Potential return game: N/A
