Joe Gomez - Remains out with calf injury Gomez (calf) has not returned to training and isn't an option for Saturday's match against Arsenal.

Impact It was thought to be a minor calf injury for Gomez, but that doesn't seem to be the case, as he's already been out two weeks. He remains the fourth option at center-back, so Liverpool can survive his absence however long it is.

Jordan Henderson - Late test for Saturday Henderson (undisclosed) is considered a late test for Saturday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "Hendo, a little bit more [injured] than Robbo but a chan...

Impact There's a slight chance Henderson will start Saturday, but if there's a chance he can re-injure himself, he probably won't. If that happens, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could again get the call in the midfield with Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara the likely other starters.

Andy Robertson - Good chance to face Arsenal Robertson (hamstring) has a good chance of being ready for Saturday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "He was smart enough to [make] the right decision, h...

Impact This is a great update on Robertson, as it looks like overuse was the issue for his hamstring, as Klopp labeled it as "delayed onset muscle soreness." If Robertson can get a full day of training in Friday, it's expected he'll be in his usual spot at left-back Saturday where he's produced one assist and 11 chances in eight league starts this season.

Sadio Mane - Ready for Saturday Mane (ribs) will be available for Saturday's match against Arsenal, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "Sadio is fine - painful but fine. Everybody who had a rib bruise knows it's...

Impact This was expected to be the case for Mane, who will have multiple days of training ahead of Saturday's match. While he has a rib issue, he barely played for Senegal over the break, meaning his fitness shouldn't be an issue for a busy couple weeks.

Andy Robertson - Expected to be late test Saturday Robertson is dealing with tightness in his hamstring suffered while with Scotland and will be a late test for Saturday's match against Arsenal, reports James Pearce of The Athletic...

Impact The good news is that this isn't a strain for Robertson and he should be ready to play within the week. The question is if Liverpool want to push him Saturday or let him rest a few more days then have him go for the UCL game against Porto. Kostas Tsimikas has played well in Robertson's absence this season and may be a better bet to start Saturday.

Curtis Jones - Expected out few more weeks Jones is expected to remain out a "few more weeks" because of an eye injury suffered in training a couple weeks ago. According to Dr. Joe Moxon, "The nature of the issue means caut...

Impact It's an unfortunate update for Jones, who returned from injury and was back in the starting XI prior to injuring his eye in a freak accident in training just before the break. It's unknown when he'll be back and the main hope for Liverpool right now is that they don't lose any more midfielders to injury ahead of the busy season.

James Milner - Training individually Milner (strain) trained individually Tuesday in the second week of the international break.

Impact It doesn't look like Milner is fully over his injury just yet, but he's on the pitch and working with the ball, so he should be ready soon. Given that he's been out for a few weeks, it's unlikely he'll be pushed into the XI in his first match back.

Jordan Henderson - Trains away from team Henderson (undisclosed) trained away from the team Tuesday after returning early from the national team.

Impact Henderson isn't thought to have a major issue, but it's noteworthy that he's not healthy enough to train with the team. He'll have a few more days to recover and get back in regular training ahead of Saturday's match against Arsenal.

NOVEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sadio Mane - Trains regularly Tuesday Mane (ribs) took part in full training Tuesday after returning early from international duty.

Impact Mane's early substitution last week was deemed a precaution and it's clear that was the case, as he's already in full training. It's a good sign for Liverpool and with a couple more days of training under his belt, he should be ready to start as usual Saturday against Arsenal.

Andy Robertson - Comes off injured during internationals Robertson was subbed out of Scotland's World Cup qualifying victory against Denmark on Monday in the 79th minute after suffering an injury.

Impact Robertson has less than a week to recover before Liverpool takes on Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday, but it looked almost like a hamstring injury, which wouldn't be good. If he can't recover in the next few days,Kostas Tsimikas would fill in for him at left-back if necessary.

Sadio Mane - Picks up rib injury Mane suffered a rib injury last Thursday and has returned to Liverpool following X-rays, according to Senegal coach Aliou Cisse.

Impact There's a chance Mane's injury is only minor and he won't miss time for Liverpool, mainly because Senegal had already qualified for the World Cup and he wasn't needed. Still, it's a worrying sign for the striker, who is on eight goals in 15 league and UCL appearances this season.

Harvey Elliott - Ankle rehab going well Elliott has started running outside in his recovery from ankle surgery.

Impact This update doesn't mean much for Elliott, but it's at least good to see him outside again. He probably has another week before he can return to training and even then, he'll need to get back his fitness, so a return in January is still possible.

Jordan Henderson - Leaves national team injured Henderson has returned to Liverpool for "further assessment" on an injury, the England National Team announced Sunday.

Impact Henderson played the full 90 minutes and got on the score sheet in England's World Cup qualifying victory against Albania on Friday, but he leaves the national team to get assessed for injury while the stakes are very low against San Marino. Liverpool returns to Premier League action next weekend against Arsenal, which will be Henderson's first chance to play again.

Sadio Mane - Subs off as precaution with Senegal Mane was forced off in the 28th minute of Thursday's match with Senegal as a precaution, reports The Athletic. According to team coach, "We took him off as a precaution and there i...

Impact While this apparently isn't anything serious for Mane, it's never good to be subbed off before the 30th minute. He'll hope to recover in the coming days and play in Senegal's next match and if not, he'll likely return to Liverpool where he'll undergo tests before returning to training.

Fabinho - Starts second consecutive match Fabinho made two interceptions and one clearance during Sunday's 3-2 loss to West Ham.

Impact Fabinho started his second straight match after being sidelined with an injury. He doesn't offer much going forward but is a steady started when he's fully fit. His next chance to start will come Nov. 20 against Arsenal.

Diogo Jota - Quiet against West Ham Jota took two shots (none on target), crated two scoring chances and drew three fouls during Sunday's 3-2 loss to West Ham.

Impact Jota lasted 76 minutes before being replaced by Divock Origi as Liverpool searched for a late equalizer. It wasn't Jota's best showing and he'll look to bounce back against Arsenal on Nov. 20.

NOVEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Henderson - Creates three scoring chances Henderson took one shot (off target), created three scoring chances and put in four crosses (two accurate) during Sunday's 3-2 loss to West Ham.

Impact Henderson had a solid outing despite Liverpool dropping points to West Ham, who have now climbed above them in the table. Henderson has started 13 of 14 matches he's been available for this season and will likely start in the Arsenal match on Nov. 20.
