Liverpool are dealing with several injury concerns ahead of their upcoming match against Chelsea. Manager Arne Slot confirmed that Alisson Becker will remain out for an extended period due to a hamstring injury.
Adding to the team’s injury woes, Alexis Mac Allister and Kostas Tsimikas are also fitness doubts following the October international break, raising concerns for Sunday’s game at Anfield.
In more troubling news, Paul Gorst’s latest injury update for the Liverpool Echo revealed that summer signing Federico Chiesa missed the most recent team training session.
The Italian international, who was key in Liverpool’s 5-1 Carabao Cup win over West Ham, has not appeared for the team since, and his fitness remains uncertain after issues in early October.
With key fixtures approaching, including a Champions League clash against RB Leipzig and a Premier League showdown with Arsenal on October 27, Liverpool will need Chiesa available.
Mo Salah, in particular, may face increased pressure to carry the attack if other options remain sidelined, unless the club decides to bring Harvey Elliott back into contention sooner than expected.
