Liverpool Injury Update: Latest on Alexander Isak, Alisson Becker, and Jeremie Frimpong’s Return Dates.

 

 

 

The Reds are optimistic that their significant injury challenges will soon be resolved.

 

 

 

Liverpool’s struggles on the field reached a new low on Sunday with a 3-0 loss to Manchester City, yet their injury issues are beginning to improve.

 

 

 

Alexander Isak was included in the matchday squad at the Etihad Stadium, although he did not come off the bench, while Alisson Becker and Jeremie Frimpong are not far from returning.

 

 

 

This news is particularly encouraging for Arne Slot, who has witnessed the Reds’ Premier League title defense nearly come to an end ahead of the international break in November.

 

 

 

Here’s the latest on Liverpool’s injury situation and expected return dates…

 

 

 

Alexander Isak

 

 

 

Alexander Isak made his return to the matchday squad on Sunday but remained on the bench against Manchester City, despite Liverpool’s need for a goal.

 

 

 

The striker has been dealing with a groin injury but only resumed training with his teammates on Friday, which means he is currently lacking match fitness.

 

 

 

Before the weekend, Slot commented on Isak: “He will train with the team for the first time today after being out for three weeks.

 

 

 

I know I mentioned three weeks ago that his pre-season had concluded, so now we need to assess his condition.

 

 

 

“If you have only been in rehab for three weeks, that doesn’t bring him back to the level he was at three weeks ago, although our rehab team has done an outstanding job. You cannot equate rehab with actual football games or training with the team.

 

 

 

No matter how much we try to simulate it, it’s simply not feasible. Therefore, I must emphasize that he needs some time.”

 

 

 

Expected return date: Nottingham Forest (H) on Saturday, November 22, 2025.

 

 

 

Alisson Becker

 

 

 

Alisson Becker is close to making a comeback after several weeks sidelined due to a thigh injury.

 

 

 

Giorgi Mamardashvili has shown promise in his role as understudy, particularly with a penalty save against Erling Haaland on Sunday, but Alisson’s upcoming return will significantly benefit the Reds.

 

 

 

Arne Slot stated on Friday: “Alisson will definitely be back after the international break… we anticipate this.”

 

 

 

Expected return date: Nottingham Forest (H) on Saturday, November 22, 2025

 

 

 

Jeremie Frimpong

 

 

 

Jeremie Frimpong is also getting closer to a comeback, although he is slightly behind Alisson Becker in his recovery process.

 

 

 

The defender sustained his second hamstring injury of the season last month against Frankfurt, resulting in a six-week absence.

 

 

 

However, Arne Slot has indicated that Frimpong is progressing a bit faster than anticipated and might return before the end of November.

 

 

 

The Reds manager stated: “I anticipate Jeremie will be back after the international break as we have matches scheduled from November to March. However, I do not expect him to be at full fitness [to face Nottingham] Forest.”

 

 

 

Expected return date: West Ham (A) on Sunday, November 30, 2025

 

 

 

Giovanni Leoni

 

 

 

Leoni sustained an ACL injury during his Liverpool debut against Southampton in September.

 

 

 

The 18-year-old showed promise in his initial minutes in a red shirt but was taken off on a stretcher shortly thereafter.

 

 

 

He subsequently had surgery and is projected to be sidelined for a year.

 

 

 

“He’s not in a good situation, of course,” Slot remarked regarding the Italian. “He tore his ACL, which means he will be out for approximately a year.”

 

 

 

Expected return date: Late 2026
