Trent Alexander-Arnold - Could be option Sunday Alexander-Arnold is a late test for Sunday's FA Cup match, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "With Trent, is it already Norwich or is it the game after? We have to see. He was not...
Impact Alexander-Arnold hasn't even been training yet, so it'll probably be another few days before he's ready for significant minutes on the pitch. That could mean a bench appearance Sunday, though starting Wednesday against Chelsea in league play seems like a stretch. With Conor Bradley playing well and Joe Gomez an option at right-back again with Andrew Robertson in the mix again, Alexander-Arnold doesn't have to be rushed back.

Andy Robertson - Unused in EFL Cup Robertson (shoulder) was an unused substitute during Wednesday's one-all draw with Fulham.
Impact Robertson was back in the matchday squad for the first time since suffering his shoulder injury. Despite his return to the squad he wasn't able to get back on the pitch. Robertson's first chance for Premier League action will come during a Jan. 31 clash with Chelsea.

Curtis Jones - Returns off bench Jones (hamstring) came off the bench during Liverpool's one-all draw with Fulham on Wednesday.
Impact Jones' injury was originally deemed minor and as expected he was available straight away. He played 23 minutes during Wednesday's clash and should be ready for a major role moving forward once more. Jones has been in immense form of late, but his impact often doesn't translate as well to the stat sheet as others. Still Jones has one goal and six shots in his past two matches, as well as creating a pair of chances.

Kostas Tsimikas - Won't train for another two weeks Tsimikas is not expected to train for another two weeks after having Collarbone surgery, according to assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders. "Kostas is now four weeks after surgery, so...
Impact Tsimikas still seems to be some ways out from a return, as he will not be returning to training with the first team for another two weeks. He is only four weeks out from his surgery, so this should come as no surprise, with the team having to wait for his bone to heal after his fall into manager Jurgen Klopp during their draw with Arsenal on Dec. 23. He will hope to have trained by the end of the first week in February, and to possibly return for their match against Burnley on Feb. 10.

Dominik Szoboszlai - Won't return till Sunday Szoboszlai (hamstring) will not be ready for Wednesday's Carabao Cup match against Fulham but is expected to be an option against Norwich on Sunday for the FA Cup, according to ass...
Impact Szobszlai looks to be making decent on his rehabilitation process, once again training on Tuesday while being expected to return to play by Sunday if all goes well and he does not suffer any setbacks. However, a Wednesday return in the Carabao Cup will be too soon for the midfielder, as he still appears to be on a touch-and-go schedule at training. He has only missed three matches due to the injury and will hope that Wednesday's contest will be the only game he misses from this point out, as he has been a regular starter this season and will want to reclaim that spot, starting in 19 of the 23 matches he has been available for.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - Set for return to team training Alexander-Arnold (knee)is expected to return to team training by the end of the week and is hoping to be an option for the Jan. 29 FA Cup fourth-round tie against Norwich City, acc...
Impact Alexander-Arnold has been out since Jan. 9, missing the club's past match over the weekend against Bournemouth due to a hyperextended knee. However, the defender is making decent progress on his rehabilitation, now being expected to return to team training by the end of the week, and hopefully will be an option by the weekend for their FA Cup match against Norwich. He most likely will only get time off the bench as a substitute if he does play on Sunday, as they will not want to risk further injury to their player in a match that they should easily win. Either way, the club will just be happy to have one of their most crucial players returning, especially with Andrew Robertson coming back to the left flank of the defense this week after 13 weeks out due to shoulder surgery.

Curtis Jones - Hamstring injury deemed minor Jones (hamstring) is expected to be cleared for Wednesday's FA Cup semifinal match against Fulham, as his injury was only a minor issue, according to assistant manager Pepijn Lijnd...
Impact Jones went down during their match Sunday against Bournemouth, having picked up what appeared to be a hamstring injury. However, he is already cleared for play as the knock was only minor, and the team was taking more of the cautionary route by taking him off. He most likely won't be tossed in the starting XI right away but should still be expected to get some time on the pitch to test the feeling of his leg after the slight issue. The midfielder will just be happy to not miss any time with the injury and to be back on the field as quickly as possible.

Andy Robertson - Expected to travel Wednesday Robertson (shoulder) is set to travel for their second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Fulham on Wednesday, assistant manager Pepijn Ljinders announced. "Let's start with...
Impact Robertson can end his long absence due to a hamstring issue on Wednesday, as he is expected to travel to Craven Cottage for their match against Fulham in the Carabao Cup. The left-back has missed the club's past 17 contests, having not touched the field since Oct. 8 against Brighton. Even though the player is planned to travel for their game on Wednesday, the true question will be where he starts heading into the match as he is just returning from injury. He will most likely end up on the bench as Liverpool won't want to risk any setbacks with one of their key players, especially after his long-awaited return. The defender will just hope to at least get some playing time in the Cup tie, as he will want to test his legs after such a long time away and getting back on the field for any player is a huge boost to the moral and a step in the right direction.

Salah's agent says Egypt star's injury is worse than previously feared
Mohamed Salah’s agent says the player's injury is more serious than previously stated and that the Liverpool star will be out for three to four weeksJANUARY 22 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Alisson - Simple clean sheet Alisson registered one save and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 4-0 win against AFC Bournemouth.
Impact Alisson faced just one shot during Sunday's win and came away with a clean sheet. It wasn't the most impressive clean sheet of his career but it was still a nice showing for the goalkeeper, who has been simply brilliant once more. Alisson will have tougher competition against Chelsea next time out.

Cody Gakpo - Assists off bench Gakpo assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 4-0 win over AFC Bournemouth.
Impact Gakpo came off the bench and set up Diogo Jota for the late insurance goal during Sunday's rout. The striker has been in and out of the starting XI this season but it appears Liverpool have settled on Gakpo as the fourth choice in the attack and midfield. Unfortunately for Gakpo that will push him to the bench for the foreseeable future.
JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE
Joe Gomez - Assists late Sunday Gomez assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-0 win over AFC Bournemouth.
Impact Gomez has been Liverpool's flex player throughout the backline and he put together another brilliant showing during Sunday's rout. The full-back even popped up with a late goal contribution on a lovely floated cross to Darwin Nunez. Gomez will likely fall to the bench when Trent Alexander-Arnold (hamstring) returns but Gomez has shown why he is so valuable to the team.

Conor Bradley - Assists in win Bradley assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-0 victory over AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was giv...
Impact Bradley has been pushed into the starting XI due to the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold (hamstring) and Andrew Robertson (shoulder) and he hasn't put a foot wrong. Bradley has immediately take on some tough competition and come away with a clean sheet and assist. Robertson and Alexander-Arnold are expected to return shortly likely sending bradley back to the bench.
JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE
Darwin Nunez - Nets brace Nunez scored two goals to go with three shots (three on goal), one cross (one accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 4-0 win against AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was g...
Impact Nunez scored twice and was simply unstoppable during Sunday's rout. The striker has been maligned for his missed chances but he is still the first Liverpool player to reach double-digit goals and assists on the season. Nunez has well and truly earned the top spot to lead the attack moving forward.
JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE
Diogo Jota - Brilliant in rout Jota scored two goals and assisted once from two shots and one chance created in Sunday's 4-0 win against AFC Bournemouth.
Impact Jota was the driving force of everything positive in the Liverpool attack alongside Darwin Nunez. The pair were simply impossible to contain as they combined to dismiss Bournemouth in the second half. Jota will likely remain in a large role as long as Mohamed Salah (hamstring) is injured and occupied with AFCON.

Mohamed Salah - Starting rehabilitation in Liverpool Salah (hamstring) is expected to return to Liverpool for his rehabilitation process but may still finish out AFCON with Egypt if they are not eliminated by the time he is fit, mana...
Impact Salah is still set to miss the next week and a half due to a calf injury but will be starting his rehabilitation process this week as he attempts to get back on the field by his expected return date of Feb. 4. The winger will be expected to start the recover process in Liverpool, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. However, he is not 100 percent expected to return with Liverpool right away once healthy, as if Egypt remains in the AFCON by the time he is healthy, he most likely will finish out the tournament with them, possibly returning anytime between the quarterfinals and finals. Either way, the club will hope for their star man to return to play as soon as possible and have no further setbacks with his rehabilitation, as his addition to the team will only strengthen the squad as they try to maintain their lead in the Premier League.
