While Liverpool have at various times so far this season dealt with injury issues around the pitch and in various position groups, the most common problem spot has been at right back and it’s not even close. At the moment, it’s a situation that sees Conor Bradley out for the season and Jeremie Frimpong at least a week away.
Add in Watau Endo’s recent broken foot filling in there and it’s basically become Liverpool’s meat grinder of a position in 2025-26. There’s at least a little good news for head
coach Arne Slot on the horizon, though, because after a pair of appearances off the bench Joe Gomez is match fit and ready to start against Nottingham.
“Yeah, I think he is,” Slot said when asked about Gomez’ potential availability ahead of this weekend’s kickoff. “Jeremie will not be involved yet this weekend, but we hope that he will be next week if everything goes as planned, and—as I said earlier—Wata will be out for a long time. We don’t know exactly how long, but long.”
In other injury and fitness news, striker Alexander Isak returned to solo training and light work on the pitch this week and is targeting a return to team training over the next month with a potential return to action pencilled in for either late in March or early in April, giving him around a month to be involved before the season ends.
