Out for Tuesday Tsimikas (ankle) is out for Tuesday's match against Real Madrid, according to Paul Joyce of The Times.

Impact Tsimikas has not been able to recover from his injuries in time to be an option for Tuesday, with the defender sidelined for another match due to the ankle issues he suffered in training. This is unfortunate for the player, as he did start in his last two appearances, with Andy Robertson likely to see all the starts at left-back while Tsimikas is out. He will hope to heal up during the remainder of the week and make it the weekend when they face Manchester City on Sunday.

Not much more has been given on his situation, although the club will hope he can have a quick turnaround seeing it is only a knock.

Dealing with issue Tsimikas is dealing with a minor issue, according to manager Arne Slot. "Kostas [Tsimikas] missed out in the first game against England"

Impact Tsimikas missed one international match and played just eight minutes in the second. It's not clear what sort of issue he's dealing with but the left-back could be a minor doubt against Chelsea. Andrew Robertson will be the starter barring a major surprise Sunday.

Returns earlier than expected Tsimikas (collarbone) is in the squad to face Burnley on Saturday.

Impact Tsimikas returns earlier than expected after missing the past five matches after undergoing surgery. The fullback had seen fairly regular playing time prior to the injury, but with Andrew Robertson now fit, Tsimikas is likely to return to a backup role.

Won't train for another two weeks Tsimikas is not expected to train for another two weeks after having Collarbone surgery, according to assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders. "Kostas is now four weeks after surgery, so...

Impact Tsimikas still seems to be some ways out from a return, as he will not be returning to training with the first team for another two weeks. He is only four weeks out from his surgery, so this should come as no surprise, with the team having to wait for his bone to heal after his fall into manager Jurgen Klopp during their draw with Arsenal on Dec. 23. He will hope to have trained by the end of the first week in February, and to possibly return for their match against Burnley on Feb. 10.

Impact Depending on when Tsimikas gets back on the training pitch, it's possible he could be an option against Chelsea on Jan. 31. With Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee) facing multiple weeks on the sideline, the return of Tsimikas would provide a significant boost to Liverpool's defensive options.

Running individually Tsimikas (collarbone) was running individually in training Friday.

Impact Tsimikas and Andrew Robertson (shoulder) are both working their way back from serious left shoulder injuries. This has prompted the loan recall of Owen Beck, who is a Cup option while the two recover. Tsimikas should return around the same time as Robertson meaning Tsimikas will likely return to the bench behind Robertson.

Liverpool defender Tsimikas injured after colliding with Klopp in game against Arsenal

Liverpool defender Kostas Tsimikas broke his collarbone when he collided with Jurgen Klopp on the sideline during the English Premier League game against Arsenal at Anfield

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Broken collarbone confirmed Tsimikas (collarbone) has been confirmed to have a broken collarbone after an ugly collision on the sidelines against Arsenal, according to manager Jurgen Klopp, per Theo Squires o...

Impact Tsimikas will be facing an extended period on the sidelines, having been confirmed to have broken his collarbone in Saturday's match against Arsenal. This is a very unfortunate loss for Liverpool, now being without their first two options at left-back, with Andy Robertson also out due to a shoulder injury. Tsimikas should now be expected to miss the next six to eight weeks of play due to the injury. Luckily, the international break is about to take place, giving him almost three additional weeks to recover without a contest. He will be slotted for a return versus Arsenal on Feb. 4, the same club he encountered his injury against. The defender will hope for a speedy recovery, with Joe Gomez most likely holding down the left flank in defense while Robertson and Tsimikas recover from their injury woes.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Early exit against Arsenal Tsimikas was taken off in the 35th minute of Saturday's contest against Arsenal, having gone down with an apparent shoulder injury.

Impact Tsimikas is the newest Liverpool left-back to end up on the injury list, having exited Saturday's match early with an injured shoulder after colliding with manager Jurgen Klopp on the sidelines. This will now leave Liverpool very limited in the flanks of the defense, already having Andrew Robertson out due to a shoulder problem as well. Joe Gomez replaced the hurt Tsimikas and will most likely remain in the starting XI if his fellow teammate's injury is serious, as the club now has no true outside backs and will be forced to play some players outside their regular positions.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Assists in win Tsimikas assisted once to go with six crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 4-3 victory against Fulham.

Impact Tsimikas isn't Andrew Robertson, but he's certainly not a bad backup on the stat sheet. The left-back found an assist and peppered the Fulham box with a plethora of dangerous crosses. He might be the backup and rotational option but Tsimikas has shown exactly why his contract was extended as he fills in for Robertson somewhat seamlessly.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Assists twice Tsimikas assisted twice to go with one shot (zero on goal), 10 crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 3-0 win over Brentford.

Impact Tsimikas has not looked good while Andrew Robertson (shoulder) has been out but at the end of the day he fills the scoresheet with ease. The defender earned a pair of assists and showed some impressive attacking form. Robertson is still some ways away from fitness so Tsimikas has plenty of minutes ahead of him in December.

NOVEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Big volume in start Tsimikas recorded eight crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Everton.

Impact Tsimikas got the start with Andrew Robertson (shoulder) sidelined and made the most of it. Tsimikas certainly isn't as a complete of a player as Robertson but he is an impressive attacking full-back who should have sky-high upside during the multiple months Robertson is expected to be on the sideline.
