Liverpool injury list: Reds players out, potential return dates, predicted lineup for next game vs. Wolves

Liverpool made it four wins in a row when they thrashed West Ham at the weekend, despite nursing some notable injury absentees.

Arne Slot's side have won four matches in a row, the 5-2 victory over the Hammers coming after clean sheet wins against Sunderland, Brighton, and Nottingham Forest all in shutout fashion.

Bottom-of-the-table Wolves are up next following their morale-boosting win over Aston Villa. It will be the first of two matches between the sides at Molineux this week after they were drawn together in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Below is a summary of Liverpool's remaining injury issues and when those players might be ready to return.

Liverpool injury and suspension list

Below is the latest injury picture for Liverpool, including estimated return dates for those who are sidelined.

Florian Wirtz

• Injury: Back
• Expected return date: March 10 (vs. Galatasaray)

Wirtz withdrew from Liverpool's match at Nottingham Forest after feeling discomfort in his back during the warmups. He remained sidelined for the West Ham game and, at his pre-match press conference for Wolves, Slot tentatively suggested the Champions League last-16 match with Galatasaray could be a target for his return.

“The game tomorrow will probably come too soon and maybe the game at the weekend as well," said the Reds boss. "Let’s see how that ends up. But we hope to have him back somewhere next week. Maybe earlier. Maybe a bit later."

Alexander Isak

• Injury: Broken leg
• Expected return date: Late March

Alexander Isak was struggling to make an impact in his first few months at Anfield, and his woes worsened when he suffered a broken leg while scoring the opening goal in Liverpool's win over Tottenham on December 23.

Isak was back doing outdoor training towards the end of February but had not yet started working with a ball. Sweden's World Cup playoff semifinal against Ukraine on March 26 could be a target for the former Newcastle man.

Arne Slot confirmed in late February that the plan is for Isak to return to training in late March or early April, but he will need time to ramp back up to full fitness.

Wataru Endo

• Injury: Broken foot
• Expected return date: May

Endo required oxygen on the pitch before being carried off on a stretcher in the Sunderland game. Slot later said the Japan captain had a serious-looking injury to his left foot or ankle, which is likely to rule him out for "a long, long time."

The injury is believed to be a broken foot, as Virgil van Dijk said he dealt with "a similar injury back when I was with Southampton." If that's the case, Endo is likely to be out for much of the remainder of the season, although he could return in time to get ready for the World Cup this summer, where he is expected to be a key member of Japan.

Conor Bradley

• Injury: Knee
• Expected return date: August 2026

Bradley hurt himself when clearing the ball into touch in the closing stages of the draw at Emirates Stadium. He was taken off on a stretcher in some distress, and the club later confirmed he requires surgery on what was described as a "significant" knee injury. The Northern Ireland international will miss the rest of this season after sustaining bone and ligament damage.

Giovanni Leoni

• Injury: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear
• Expected return date: August 2026

Summer signing Leoni suffered a nightmare debut as he horrifically tore an ACL against Southampton. The Italian defender underwent immediate surgery and his campaign has already been cruelly ended.
