Thiago Alcantara

Thiago sustained a muscle injury when he made his first appearance of 2023-24 as a substitute in the defeat at Arsenal on February 4.

Jürgen Klopp was asked before Liverpool’s Emirates FA Cup fifth-round tie versus Southampton whether there was a timescale in place for Thiago’s return and if he would play again this season.

Klopp on February 27: “There’s no timescale. I don’t know, to be honest. It’s a couple of things [that] he has to do now from a medical point of view and then I don’t know if that will then mean that he can play again [this season].

“That’s not a short-term thing, that’s why I’m not really in the subject. It’s not that he might be in training in two weeks or stuff like this, so that’s why I’m not 100 per cent in it. I cannot say more about it, to be honest.”

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones

Klopp was asked who had a chance of being able to face Brighton & Hove Albion in the first match after the March international break.

Klopp on March 15: “Curtis, and I think the other two, Diogo and Trent, for the week after. A chance.”

Stefan Bajcetic

Bajcetic has missed the majority of the current season due to a fitness issue.

Klopp on March 15: “Stefan is pretty much now in his pre-season to make him physically ready. So, in the moment he feels something, it’s not an injury, it’s intensity. He’s a young lad so we just have to make sure that we don’t use him before he is really ready because what happened before was that the body was not 100 per cent ready for the intensity that professional football is asking for.

“He is much better, he is in a much better place now. He had a long time, unfortunately, to improve that but that’s where we now have to wait a little bit. But he is in his pre-season and I think he will be part of team training as well after the international break.”

Alisson Becker

The goalkeeper was out until after the March international break with a muscle injury he was picked up in training.

Bobby Clark

Clark picked up a knock in the second leg of Liverpool’s Europa League last-16 tie with Sparta Prague.

Klopp on March 15: “Bobby felt much better. That was uncomfortable, he got a knock there, a little swelling and that’s why [we had] the feeling that it might be something more serious but it’s not, so he’s fine.”

Ben Doak

The young forward is on the sidelines after suffering a knee injury while representing the Reds’ U21s.

Lijnders on December 19: “That’s not a good one. He tore his lateral meniscus, which needs surgery. That one will take [a] longer time. He is young, he is a fit guy, he is a positive guy so for sure he will come back stronger, and we need him to come back with the same fire he had with the ball, how he was. He can take time and we will wait for him.”

Ryan Gravenberch

Gravenberch has returned to training following the ankle injury he picked up during Liverpool’s Carabao Cup final victory over Chelsea.

Klopp on March 15: “Ryan trained today again, so he’s ready.”

Ibrahima Konate

Konate missed the Reds’ last two matches and will be considered ahead of the Emirates FA Cup tie at Manchester United.

Klopp on March 15: “Ibou didn’t train today, we have to see if he can train tomorrow but it will be a tight, tight race which we will probably lose, but we don’t know.”

Joel Matip

The centre-back sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury during a challenge in the second half of Liverpool’s win over Fulham on December 3.

Matip subsequently underwent a successful operation and will continue his rehabilitation at the AXA Training Center, with no time scale placed on his recovery.
