Wataru Endo - Dealing with knock Endo is in question for Thursday's match against Sheffield United, as manager Jurgen Klopp told reporters, "Wataru, what a player, what a guy. He got a knock in the last game, so w...
Impact Endo played the full 90 in the club's last match despite picking up an injury somewhere near the end of the contest, as he is now in question to take place in Thursday's match due to a knock. Luckily for the player, his issues only appear to be minor, giving him a decent chance to feature if he passes his fitness test ahead of the game. The club will now hope he can play, as he has been a regular starter for much of the season, only missing the start in two of his past 17 appearances. However, if he isn't an option, expect Harvey Elliott or Ryan Gravenberch to get the start in his place.

Diogo Jota - Set for another week out Jota (knee) will eye a return in about a week or so, as manager Jurgen Klopp told reporters, "The other boys [are] doing well. Diogo and Trent are together in a group, which helps...
Impact Jota will still have to wait another week or two for a return, as he is yet to recover from his knee issues and join team training. However, he is not completely training alone, as he is getting work in with other injured players and is set to return to full team training by next week. With that being said, he will eye a return for either of the matches against Atalanta on April 11 or Crystal Palace on April 14, hoping to pick up no setbacks between now and then, as he will want to be fit for the end of the campaign.

Andy Robertson - In contention for Sheffield match Robertson (ankle) is an option for Thursday's match against Sheffield United, as manager Jurgen Klopp told reporters, "Yeah, and very important, by the way," when asked if the left...
Impact Robertson appears to already be ready for a return, as he is now in contention for Thursday's match following his injury concerns due to an ankle issue. This is a significant addition for the club as they continue to dwindle their massive injury list while also gaining back a great player, with the left-back starting in five of his last seven appearances. He will now look to see the starting XI Thursday, although there is a decent chance Joe Gomez continues in that role, with the club preserving Robertson on the bench, not wanting to rush the player into a full match.

Curtis Jones - Set for return Thursday Jones (ankle) looks to be set for a return against Sheffield United on Thursday, as manager Jurgen Klopp stated, "Curtis is in training, full training, and is in contention. Yeah,...
Impact Jones appears to have finally shaken off his injury concerns following a decently long spell on the sidelines, as he is now an option for the club's next match Thursday after getting in full training ahead of the contest. However, it does not look like the midfielder will get back in the starting XI immediately, as the manager claimed he would not play the full 90, implying he would only earn a few minutes off the bench. Either way, the player will just be happy to be healthy once again and back on the team sheet, most likely moving back to his starting role after one match on the bench, as he has started in 14 of his 21 appearances this campaign.

Joel Matip - Running in recovery Matip has begun running in his recovery from a torn ACL, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "Joel [is] running - he hates that! But he is able to run again, so that's good," the ma...
Impact Matip is making his way back from ACL surgery, which he underwent in December. His recovery will be a long one and the hope is that he can get back in training over the summer and possibly in some pre-season contests. If all goes well, he'll be an option to start at the beginning of the 2024/25 campaign, whether it's with Liverpool or another club.

Caoimhin Kelleher - Concedes early Kelleher registered two saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Brighton.
Impact Kelleher conceded the opening goal just two minutes into Sunday's clash before calming down and keeping a clean sheet for the remainder of the clash. Kelleher continues to impress with Alisson (hamstring) left on the sideline, though it will be Alisson's net whenever he is deemed fully fit and available once more.

Dominik Szoboszlai - Busy in win Szoboszlai registered three shots (zero on goal), nine crosses (two accurate) and eight corners in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Brighton.
Impact Szoboszlai took the lion's share of the corners during Sunday's win with Trent Alexander-Arnold (hamstring) on the sideline. Szoboszlai has been one of the most important pieces of the starting XI right from the opening moments of the season and now that he is fit once more he seems set for a huge role. Szoboszlai will be hoping to lead Liverpool to the title in what will be a chaotic closing stage of the Premier League.

Darwin Nunez - Returns in win Nunez had two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Brighton.
Impact Nunez was back in the starting XI and did well to send in a pair of shots and create a chance. It was a match where most of Liverpool's creativity came through the flanks, as both of Nunez's wingers scored. Nunez will continue to lead the line as Liverpool look to hold onto a slim lead atop the Premier League table.

Alexis Mac Allister - Assists winning goal Mac Allister assisted once to go with five shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and five chances created in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Brighton. In addition, he was given...
Impact Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai combined for a lovely move in the box before Mac Allister found Mohamed Salah for the winning goal. Liverpool are finally getting healthier but Mac Allister is still showing the same brilliant form he did when he was locking the midfield down during the injury crisis. His role might become more defensive in the coming weeks, but with Wataru Endo available Mac Allister should have more chances to get forward.
APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Diaz - Nets in win Diaz scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 win over Brighton.
Impact Diaz answered back in the first half after an early Brighton goal shifted Liverpool into high gear. Diaz has sometimes been frustrating but he was more direct during Sunday's clash, perhaps gaining some confidence from the returns of Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez. Alongside those two, Diaz should be a consistent piece of the starting XI during the Premier League run in.
APRIL 1 • ROTOWIRE
Mohamed Salah - Scores late winner Salah scored one goal to go with 12 shots (four on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Brighton.
Impact Salah got on the scoresheet in the second half with a nice finish after a brilliant attacking move. The striker was back to his absolute best during the win, and was peppering the net throughout. Salah remains one of the absolute best attackers in the Premier League, and worthy of consideration in any match.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - Will return in a few more weeks Alexander-Arnold (knee) is expected to return to action in the next few weeks, the right-back told Chris Shaw of Liverpool's official website. ""Going well now, finally in the fina...
Impact A timeline of two weeks at a bare minimum would put Alexander-Arnold's return for mid-April, right around the quarterfinal tie against Atalanta in the UEFA Europa League, though it seems like he'll be ready to play in the return leg, scheduled for April 18. The defender has been heavily missed due to his contributions on both sides of the ball, and Conor Bradley is expected to remain in the starting lineup until Alexander-Arnold is ready to return.

Andy Robertson - Ruled out Sunday Robertson (ankle) is not in the squad for Sunday's match against Brighton.
Impact Robertson misses out on Sunday's match after picking up an ankle injury on international duty. The left-back is replaced in the starting XI by Joe Gomez.

Darwin Nunez - Starting as expected Nunez (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Brighton.
Impact Nunez starts as expected after recovering from an ailment that prevented him from going on international duty. The forward leads the line Sunday having scored four goals in his last four appearances in all competitions.

Curtis Jones - Missing sixth straight Jones (ankle) is not in the squad to face Brighton on Sunday.
Impact Jones misses his sixth straight match despite training in the buildup to Sunday's fixture. The midfielder will hope to return to full fitness in time for mid week action against Sheffield United.

Stefan Bajcetic - Nearing return Bajcetic (calf) will join team training within two weeks, Manager Jurgen Klopp announced Friday."He is now in partial training with the U21s and he will be in full training with th...
Impact Bajcetic has missed the majority of the season with a calf injury that has seemingly plagued him consistently. The defensive midfielder won't be rushed back as he is still seen as one for the future more than anything else. Bajcetic likely will only play a bench role even when fully fit.

Darwin Nunez - Ready to go Nunez (undisclosed) is fit and available for Sunday's trip to Brighton, according to manager Jurgen Klopp."[Nunez] is fine. He did his rehab during the week, trained the first day...
Impact Nunez was withdrawn from international duty but hasn't had issues training since returning to Liverpool. The striker should be back fit and ready to lead the line as Liverpool prepare for what should be a busy run in. Nunez is the top choice to lead the line when fit.

Curtis Jones - Uncertain Sunday Jones (ankle) is a doubt for Sunday's clash with Brighton, according to manager Jurgen Klopp."Curtis, I am not sure if he is available [for Sunday], but in training,"
Impact Jones is back in training but he may not be back to full fitness. The midfielder took a larger role in the starting XI before his injury but that's no guarantee he will return immediately into a starting role when fit once more. If Jones can't go Sunday he could be an option for a Thursday clash with Sheffield United.

Andy Robertson - Labeled day-to-day Robertson (ankle) will be a game-time call for Sunday's clash with Brighton, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "Robbo, we take it a little bit day by day so we will see. He will n...
Impact Robertson is set to be a true game-time call after suffering the ankle injury on international duty. The left-back would be tough to replace but Joe Gomez has done well when given a spot in the starting XI, and he could move back to that role if required. Robertson should be back by a Thursday clash with Sheffield United at the latest.
