Alisson - Confirmed out Saturday Alisson will miss Saturday's match against Watford after returning late from international duty.

Impact This was expected to be the case for Alisson, as Brazil had a match Thursday night, less than 48 hours before Saturday's game. He'll be ready for Champions League next week, but for Saturday, Caoimhin Kelleher will get the call in net.

Thiago - Remains without timeline Thiago (calf) will miss Saturday's match against Watford and doesn't have a timeline to return, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "Thiago, I don't know [when he will be available]...

Impact It looks like Thiago will miss at least another week if not more. It's unfortunate because Liverpool have yet to be completely healthy in the midfield yet this season. With Curtis Jones also out Saturday, Naby Keita and James Milner could both be given starts.

Curtis Jones - Will miss Watford trip Jones has a "slight injury" suffered over the international break and will miss Saturday's trip to Watford, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

Impact It's unfortunate for Jones, who returned from the injury earlier in the week and actually played 33 minutes with the national team. He clearly wasn't completely over the issue and now that will cost him time with Liverpool, possibly moving James Milner into a midfield role.

Thiago - Unlikely to face Watford Thiago (calf) isn't expected to be ready for Saturday's trip to Watford, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "Thiago needs probably a little bit longer, [he] was not in team trainin...

Impact Thiago was already considered a doubt to return Saturday and this almost confirms he'll remain out. He's been out since Sept. 18 and it looks like this injury will keep him out a little more than a month. Fortunately, Curtis Jones has played well in his place and is expected to continue in the XI.

Diogo Jota - Expected to be option Saturday Jota (muscle) is expected to train with the team and be available for Saturday's trip to Watford, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

Impact This is a positive update on Jota and it appears he may not have to miss time after all. He missed about a week of training over the break for the national team, but there's a chance he could start Saturday. If not, Roberto Firmino would likely move back into the XI.

Andy Robertson - Solid once more Robertson sent in four inaccurate crosses and made three interceptions during Sunday's two-all draw with Manchester City.

Impact Robertson's four crosses all lacked accuracy, leaving him with nothing on the scoresheet, though he did have plenty to do defensively. The left-back did well handling the elite Manchester City attack and played the full 90, keeping his fantasy floor strong. He will be right back in the starting XI after the international break.

OCTOBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

James Milner - Eight crosses in draw Milner sent in eight crosses (two accurate) during Sunday's two-all draw with Manchester City.

Impact Milner once again deputized at right-back, and was once again solid, if not exceptional. The veteran did well throughout the match and led the way with crosses, but failed to find the finishing touch to get on the score sheet. Milner will likely return to the bench with Trent Alexander-Arnold expected back after the international break.

Curtis Jones - Returns from injury over break Jones (groin) played 33 minutes in Monday's match and assisted for the England U21s.

Impact Jones looks to be over his groin tweak and he was well enough to play the majority of the second half Monday. It's a great sign for the midfielder, who appears to be fit and should be available to start for Saturday's trip to Watford.

OCTOBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Trent Alexander-Arnold - Expected to be ready Saturday Alexander-Arnold (groin) has returned to training and is expected to be available for Saturday's trip to Watford, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

Impact This update only confirms what many assumed going into the international break. Alexander-Arnold has been out the last two matches, but it appears he's made a quick recovery and is expected back in the XI Saturday, taking the spot of James Milner at right-back.

Diogo Jota - Withdrawn from national team Jota is back at Liverpool after dealing with a muscle injury the last week with the Portugal national team.

Impact This isn't too surprising for Jota, who hasn't trained fully since joining the national team a week ago. Jota went 68 minutes in the last league match and it looks like he's in danger of missing Saturday's trip to Watford. It doesn't seem like something that will keep him out a long period, but for any match he'll miss, Roberto Firmino will likely step into the XI.

OCTOBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Diogo Jota - Still battling muscle issue Jota still isn't training with the Portugal national team and may return to Liverpool early, reports The Echo.

Impact It was thought that Jota would be training by now after the reports came out last week, but now it appears he may not play for Portugal in this window. This doesn't seem major, but if he's missing a full week of training, there's a chance he misses time once he returns to Liverpool.

Diogo Jota - Battling apparent muscle issue Jota has yet to train with the Portugal national team because of muscular issues, reports SAPO.

Impact There isn't a ton of information on Jota's issue, but he's still with the team so there's a chance he returns in the next few days. If he remains out, Liverpool will surely have an update on the striker. He's started all but one match this season, though he only went 68 minutes in the recent draw against Man City.

Curtis Jones - Dealing with groin issue over break Jones missed the England U21 match Thursday because of a tight groin. According to head coach Lee Carsley, "He had a bit of tightness in his groin area. We will never put players i...

Impact This doesn't sound like a major issue and Jones could be available for the team's next match in a few days. Still, groin injuries are tricky things and can pop up even when you feel 100 percent. It'll definitely be something to monitor having started and made the score-sheet in each of Liverpool's last three matches.
