Injuries

Conor Bradley

The Northern Irishman is set to be out for the rest of the season after sustaining a significant knee injury against Arsenal on January 8.

It was confirmed on January 11 he would undergo surgery for the issue and then begin a spell of rehabilitation.

Arne Slot on January 16: "We've got Conor Bradley out for the season."

Bradley on January 14: "A big blow but surgery is done so the comeback starts now. It won't be for a little while but I already can't wait to get back playing for Liverpool FC and Northern Ireland."

Federico Chiesa

Chiesa picked up an injury in training on the eve of the Champions League win in Marseille on January 21 and was not fit to be in the matchday squad at Orange Velodrome.

Slot on January 21: "Two or three minutes after you guys left yesterday, he stepped out of the training session. We took him with us because we don't expect it to be a long-term injury.

"Because we stay here tonight, we are here a bit longer. We thought it was good for him to have his treatment over here and we were hoping that maybe he would have been fit in time. But he wasn't. He tried in the warm-up and he wasn't able to play. That's why he wasn't on the bench."

Jayden Danns

Danns is not currently training as he recovers from a previous fitness issue.

Slot on January 11: "Not fit enough, no. Not even training, if I'm correct. One of the players that got a stress fracture because he was young and from what we've been told was a bit over-trained.

"Jayden is definitely not available in the short term."

Alexander Isak

Isak is facing a spell on the sidelines after undergoing surgery on an ankle injury that included a fibula fracture on December 22.

He sustained the issue while scoring against Tottenham Hotspur two days prior.

Slot on December 23: "It's going to be a long injury. For a couple of months. That's a big, big, big disappointment for him and as a result of that of course also for us."

Slot did also confirm he is confident Isak will be able to play again during the 2025-26 season.

Giovanni Leoni

The defender is recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament tear suffered at the end of his debut against Southampton in the Carabao Cup in September 2025.

He is not expected to play again in 2025-26.

Slot on September 26: "He is not in a good place, of course, because he tore his ACL and it means he will be out for a year. Being so young and coming to a new country and playing so well in your first game... it's very hard to take the positive side.

"There's never a positive side – but you always try to look at a positive side and that is that he is still so young, so he has so many years still to go after he recovers from a terrible injury like that."
