Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - Nets in return Oxlade-Chamberlain scored once on three shots (one on goal) during Sunday's 3-1 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Oxlade-Chamberlain returned to the starting XI on the right wing and did well. He got forward consistently and looked dangerous in the Palace box. In the end he got his reward with a smooth finish. It's unlikely that he remains in a starting role as a winger for much longer, as Mohamed Salah is set to return shortly after the international break.

Joel Matip - Starting against Palace Matip (knock) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Matip gets the call Sunday despite subbing off early in the Cup match only a few days ago. It's somewhat surprising, but the injury clearly isn't something that could worsen, so Ibrahima Konate will open another match on the bench for Liverpool.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - Back in starting XI Oxlade-Chamberlain (ankle) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Oxlade-Chamberlain gets the call after picking up an ankle issue only a week ago. He probably isn't ready for a full 90, but there's always upside in this attack, especially against what has been an inconsistent Crystal Palace side.

Nathaniel Phillips - Back in training Phillips (cheekbone) returned to training and could be an option before the international break, according to assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders.

Impact Phillips has been out a little more than a month with a fractured cheekbone, but he's back and should be available soon. Of course, as the fourth center-back option for Liverpool, he figures to remain on the bench going forward with minimal playing time expected.

Harvey Elliott - Back in full training Elliott (ankle) is back in full training but still needs to work on his fitness, according to assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders. "It would be a crime if you would not play him if h...

Impact Elliott still needs some time in training before getting minutes again, but he's close and should be an option after the international break. He hasn't appeared since September and a couple weeks of training should help with his fitness. Once ready, he figures to immediately compete for starting minutes.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - Ankle injury continues to be assessed Oxlade-Chamberlain (ankle) won't be available Thursday, but he still has a chance for Sunday's trip to Crystal Palace, according to assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders. "I spoke yest...

Impact This doesn't sound like a bad injury for Oxlade-Chamberlain, but it's hard to see him starting Sunday with limited training sessions. If that's indeed the case, Takumi Minamino is an option to enter the XI after he scored off the bench against Brentford last weekend.

Divock Origi - Out at least two more weeks Origi (knee) won't be available to train until at least after the international break, according to assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders.

Impact It's an unfortunate update for Origi, who would've likely seen time in January if healthy. The forward has been out since Dec. 7 when he started against AC Milan in a meaningless UCL match and will spend at least two months on the sidelines because of the injury.

Thiago - Hopeful to return over break Thiago (hip) is hopeful to return to full training over the international break, according to assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders. "Thiago, hopefully he will be in full team training...

Impact There is at least a timeline for Thiago, which is a positive and he should be back within the next week or two. Liverpool haven't talked about the exact injury, but he last appeared Dec. 16 because of COVID-19 and then this issue. Liverpool have been fine without him, but his presence will be needed once Champions League returns.

Virgil Van Dijk - Gets clean sheet van Dijk took two shots (both on target) and earned a clean sheet in Sunday's 3-0 win over Brentford.

Impact van Dijk didn't register a single tackle, interception or clearance, as the game state saw Liverpool dominate possession. After holding Brentford scoreless, van Dijk will now turn his attention toward a pair of matches in London, at Arsenal in the league cup on Thursday and at Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday.
