Liverpool could welcome back Alexander Isak and Giorgi Mamardashvili for their upcoming match against Chelsea, easing some of Arne Slot's injury concerns. Isak has returned to training, with manager Arne Slot set to assess his availability and potential playing time for the fixture. Mamardashvili, who suffered a deep cut to his knee, is also expected to train with the squad for the first time since his injury.
Key Players Nearing Return
First-choice goalkeeper Alisson and star forward Mohamed Salah remain sidelined but are reported to be “very, very, very close” to rejoining training. Their potential return could provide a significant boost for Liverpool in the coming weeks.
Ongoing Absentees
Other players, including Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni, and Wataru Endo, are still unavailable due to ongoing injuries. Slot will have to manage without them for the Chelsea clash.
The double boost comes at a crucial time for Liverpool as they look to maintain momentum in the season. Slot's assessment of Isak's fitness will be key in determining his involvement against Chelsea.
