Liverpool sit second in the Premier League table but injuries are mounting up and Arne Slot will be forced to depend on his squad in the coming weeks to get through a tricky period.
The Merseyside giants are very much part of the title conversation in the Premier League and did well to earn a point from their trip to Arsenal on Sunday.
However, Liverpool are set to face a tricky period until the next international break and will be without some of their key players due to injuries.
Alisson Becker is not expected to return from his hamstring injury until after the November international break and even Diogo Jota has been ruled out for the next few weeks.
Harvey Elliott has been nursing a broken foot over the last few weeks but there were expectations that he could be returning to action sooner rather than later.
However, the attacking midfielder has suffered a setback in his recovery and he won’t be returning to action soon.
More injury misery for the Liverpool starlet
Elliott has made just one appearance this season for the Reds and has been out of action since the middle of September.
Arne Slot revealed in his press conference earlier today that the player will not be returning to action until after the November international break.
The attacking midfielder will continue to remain sidelined as he recuperates from the broken foot he suffered last month.
He found it challenging to get game time at the start of the season under the new manager and the injury has added further misery to his season.
Can you name the club Liverpool signed these players from?
With Liverpool playing well, Elliott is likely to find it only harder to get back into the team even after he returns to fitness.
He is already behind the rest of the team in terms of fitness and will need a few weeks to get back to peak condition to match the rest of his teammates.
Elliott joined Liverpool from Fulham in 2019 and gradually emerged as a key player under former manager Jurgen Klopp.
He has scored ten times and registered 15 assists in 120 appearances for the Merseyside giants.
