As Liverpool enter the Premier League’s decisive phase with a 12-point lead, Arne Slot faces mounting injury concerns affecting his defensive ranks.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Bradley, and Alisson were all not able to feature against Everton on Wednesday night.

Alexander-Arnold suffered a severe high ankle sprain during Liverpool’s Champions League exit to Paris Saint-Germain on March 11 – and has been out ever since.

Conor Bradley season has been derailed by a persistent hamstring tear sustained in February’s 2-2 draw with Aston Villa25.

Initially projected for 2-3 weeks recovery, the Northern Ireland international has now missed eight matches across all competitions – while Alisson has been following concussion protocols  following his head clash during the international break.

And now speaking in his pre-Fulham press conference, Arne Slot has provided a brief injury update on the trio:

“Trent and Joe (Gomez) won’t be back for the coming weeks.

We will have to wait and see about Conor (Bradley).

With Ali, it’s a concussion and when he ticks all the boxes he will be back in goal

We’re following the protocols.”
