Jordan Henderson - Starting Cup match Henderson (illness) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's Cup match against Leicester. He made it 59 minutes, producing no shots or crosses.

Impact As expected, Henderson is available after missing the last match with an illness that wasn't COVID-19. But while he's starting Wednesday, that likely means he won't start both matches for Liverpool in league play in the matter of three days. Either way, his return is a definite boost to the midfield.

Divock Origi - Still not training with team Origi (undisclosed) isn't training with the team and will miss Wednesday's FA Cup match and possibly more, according to assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders.

Impact Origi hasn't appeared since starting the Dec. 7 UCL match and it looks like he'll remain out longer. It's not a great sign that he isn't training and with less than a week to go before two more matches, it's unlikely he'll be back in the squad before the end of the year.

Alisson - Poor mistake in draw Alisson made three saves and clearances during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Tottenham.

Impact Alisson made three saves but also a horrific mistake that allowed Heung-Min Son to score the equalizer. Alisson has made some poor mistakes so far in the 21/22 season though he has been a solid fantasy option. Alisson will hope to return to strong form against Leeds next time out.

Mohamed Salah - Shut down in draw Salah failed to put a shot on goal during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Tottenham.

Impact Salah created three chances in an acceptable performance but not one befitting his fantasy salary. The Egyptian superstar simply wasn't particularly threatening and ended up failing to get much done. He has a prime bounce back chance against an out-of-form Leeds up next.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - Assists in draw Alexander-Arnold sent in 10 crosses, creating four chances and providing an assist during Sunday's two-all draw with Tottenham.

Impact Alexander-Arnold notched his eighth assist of the season Sunday as he set up Andrew Robertson for the goal. The full-back is one of the best in the world and is in some phenomenal form. Alexander-Arnold figures to be the top defender on most fantasy slates.

DECEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Diogo Jota - Scores again Jota scored once on three shots (one on goal) during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Tottenham.

Impact Jota scored his 10th goal of the season during Sunday's draw, as he continued his great form. The forward is having his best season in the Premier League and it's only December. Jota will be a strong fantasy play against a horrific Leeds United side on Sunday.

DECEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Andy Robertson - Scores goal, sent off against Spurs Robertson received a straight red card -- after a VAR review -- for a foul on Emerson in the 77th minute of Sunday's draw against Tottenham. He scored a goal and recorded an assist...

Impact Robertson was having an excellent game on Sunday, setting up Diogo Jota's first half equalizer and then scoring himself in the second, but he will now be suspended for next weekend's clash against Leeds, and possibly for the Leicester City game the following Tuesday as well. Kostas Tsimikas will likely replace him at left back for the matches.

Jordan Henderson - Out against Spurs Henderson will miss Sunday's clash against Spurs with a non-COVID-19 illness, Liverpool announced before the game.

Impact Henderson joins fellow midfielders Fabinho (illness), Thiago Alcantara (illness), Curtis Jones (illness) and of course Harvey Elliott (ankle) on the inactive list Sunday, meaning Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain and James Milner are virtually the only players available in the middle of the park.

DECEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Thiago - Out with COVID-19 Thiago has tested positive for COVID-19, Liverpool announced Sunday.

Impact Thiago will miss at least a week while in isolation, meaning he is out for Sunday's clash against Spurs, and possibly for next week's fixtures against Leeds and Leicester a well. With Fabinho (illness), Jordan Henderson (illness) and Curtis Jones (illness) all out, Liverpool could be forced to deploy a midfield three of Naby Keita, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Alisson - Concedes goal against Newcastle Alisson made two saves but conceded a goal in Thursday's 3-1 victory against Newcastle United.

Impact Alisson was beaten by an early strike from Jonjo Shelvey, but his side recovered and won its eighth game in a row in all competitions since the November international break. On Sunday he will face Tottenham, which have scored 16 goals in 14 Premier League games, but haven't played since Dec. 5 due to COVID-19 concerns at the club.
