Latest Liverpool injury news and updates as Jürgen Klopp could be set for a double boost. Diogo Jota and Trent Alexander-Arnold could return to training this week.

Diogo Jota could make his Liverpool return soon

Liverpool must swiftly recover from the disappointment of another subpar performance at Old Trafford. Sunday’s draw against Manchester United signifies that the title race is no longer in the Reds’ control.

Jürgen Klopp and his team will regret missing out on more opportunities against Erik ten Hag’s side, as they failed to reclaim the top spot in the Premier League. With only seven games remaining, Arsenal currently leads by goal difference, with Manchester City trailing just a point behind.

Liverpool will likely rely on Arsenal making mistakes if they are to clinch the title this season, but an exciting finish seems inevitable. Furthermore, the Reds may receive significant injury boosts this week.

Wataru Endō was able to make his return to the side at Old Trafford on Sunday, just days after Curtis Jones made his comeback against Sheffield United. Two more players look set to make their way out of the treatment room this week — here is the latest on the injury front.

Wataru Endo made his comeback at Old Trafford on Sunday, shortly after Curtis Jones returned against Sheffield United. Two additional players appear poised to exit the treatment room this week. Here’s the latest update on the injury front.

Diogo Jota and Trent Alexander-Arnold

The absence of Diogo Jota was keenly felt by Liverpool fans during Sunday’s match against United. Many believed that the Portuguese’s precise finishing could have changed the outcome as the Reds missed several chances.

Fortunately, the 27-year-old is expected to resume training this week, along with Trent Alexander-Arnold. While the latter had aimed to return for the Atalanta game on Thursday, Jürgen Klopp’s indication that both players will participate in ‘parts’ of training suggests that they might be more likely to feature in Sunday’s match against Crystal Palace.

Possible return dates: Crystal Palace (April 14).

Alisson Becker and Stefan Bajčetić

Caoimhín Kelleher couldn’t have done much to prevent either goal at Old Trafford, especially considering Bruno Fernandes’ equalizer caught him off guard after a mistake by Jarell Quansah. The Irish goalkeeper has performed admirably in Alisson’s absence, although there’s no denying that having the Brazilian back would provide a significant boost.

Klopp has hinted at Alisson’s potential return to training soon, although the exact date for his return to action remains somewhat uncertain. Meanwhile, Stefan Bajčetić, the young midfielder, is set to intensify his rehabilitation with the first team after training with the club’s U21s.

Projected return dates: End of April/beginning of May for Alisson, before the end of the season for Bajčetić.

Joël Matip, Thiago Alcântara and Ben Doak

It appears highly probable that Liverpool fans have witnessed the final appearances of Joël Matip and Thiago Alcântara in a red shirt. Both players’ contracts are set to expire in the summer, and it would be surprising to see either of them extend their stays at this point. Klopp has already indicated that the season “isn’t long enough” for Matip to make a return, despite recently resuming training.

Thiago’s season seems to have been limited to just a few minutes at Arsenal, as the midfielder suffered another setback at the Emirates. Additionally, Ben Doak is unlikely to feature again this season after undergoing knee surgery, but he is expected to recover in time for pre-season. Possible return dates: Unknown.
