Kostas Tsimikas - Running individually Tsimikas (collarbone) was running individually in training Friday.
Impact Tsimikas and Andrew Robertson (shoulder) are both working their way back from serious left shoulder injuries. This has prompted the loan recall of Owen Beck, who is a Cup option while the two recover. Tsimikas should return around the same time as Robertson meaning Tsimikas will likely return to the bench behind Robertson.

Andy Robertson - Working back to full fitness Robertson is working his way back to full fitness and was spotted doing drills both on the grass and in the gym.
Impact Robertson continues to work his way back from a shoulder injury, and while he's not closer to returning to team training, let alone taking part in a competitive fixture, he seems to be trending in the right direction. Liverpool will hope Robertson can return to action as quickly as possible since the other natural left-back on the squad, Kostas Tsimikas, is also out until February due to a broken collarbone.

Dominik Szoboszlai - Will miss two more matches Szoboszlai will miss Liverpool's upcoming two matches due to a hamstring injury suffered against Newcastle United on New Year's Day, manager Jurgen Klopp told media during his pre-...
Impact Szoboszlai is set to be sidelined for Sunday's Emirates FA Cup tie at Arsenal and the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg with Fulham next midweek. The recovery process over the next few days will determine whether the Hungary international will be ready to return once Liverpool resumes their Premier League campaign against Bournemouth on Jan. 21, but it's going to a wait-and-see approach. Prior to the injury, Szoboszlai had started five of the last seven games played, recording a goal on 21 crosses (one accurate).

Rhys Williams - Returning from loan Williams was recalled by Liverpool from his loan spell with Aberdeen on Wednesday.
Impact Considering Williams made just one appearance for the Scottish club during his loan, the fact that Liverpool decided to bring him back shouldn't come as a surprise. It's unlikely the defender will see any minutes with the first team and is probably a candidate to be sent back out on loan elsewhere.

Countdown begins on PSG star Kylian Mbappé's future, Real Madrid and Liverpool possible destinations

Wataru Endo - Headed to Asian Cup Endo is joining up with Japan for the Asian Cup and will miss most of January.
Impact Endo is off to the Asian Cup, where Japan are among the tournament favorites. If Japan make a deep run as expected Endo may not be available until early or mid February for club action. Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch will need to take a more significant role in the starting XI with Endo away from the team.

Dominik Szoboszlai - Hamstring injury confirmed Szoboszlai suffered a hamstring injury during Monday's 4-2 win over Newcastle United, per manager Jurgen Klopp. "We wanted to take him off, that was the plan, but unfortunately it...
Impact It is unclear the severity of Szoboszlai's injury, therefore is given a questionable tag for Liverpool. The good news is the next EPL match for the Reds is Jan 21, with both an FA Cup and a Carabao Cup match on both Jan 7 and 10. The midfielder had started five of the last seven games played, recording a goal on 21 crosses (one accurate) 14 tackles and six chances created in that span.

Alisson - Struggles in win Alisson made one save and allowed two goals in Monday's 4-2 win against Newcastle United.
Impact Alisson faced three shots and stopped just one of them, though the two goals he conceded were tough to fault him for. Alexander Isak beat him with a gorgeous chip while Sven Botman nodded home nearly unmarked from a corner. Alisson has been one of the best in England since the minute he signed for Liverpool and he's looking for another Golden Glove.

Diogo Jota - Assists from bench Jota assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Monday's 4-2 victory versus Newcastle United.
Impact Jota came off the bench for the closing stages of Monday's win and almost immediately chipped in with an assist. The striker is playing for a starting job as Darwin Nunez has been poor in front of net and Mohamed Salah is off to AFCON. With those two question marks in the starting XI Jota and Cody Gakpo could see significant chances in January.

Darwin Nunez - Assists in win Nunez assisted once to go with eight shots (five on goal) and two chances created in Monday's 4-2 win over Newcastle United.
Impact Nunez provided an assist and had three huge chances that went missing. Finishing is still a frustrating point for the striker but the amount of chances he creates is so ridiculous he still has put together a respectable second Premier League season. The striker will need to step up in a huge way with Mohamed Salah now departing for AFCON.
JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Cody Gakpo - Nets off bench Gakpo scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Monday's 4-2 victory over Newcastle United.
Impact Gakpo came off the bench to replace Darwin Nunez and did so with aplomb, including scoring a crucial goal on a lovely pass from Mohamed Salah. Gakpo could be called into significantly more minutes with Salah set to depart for AFCON, which will sideline him throughout January.
JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Curtis Jones - Nets Monday Jones scored one goal to go with five shots (three on goal) and two chances created in Monday's 4-2 win over Newcastle United.
Impact Jones scored perhaps the easiest goal of the match, a tap-in from a few yards out. Still he's not likely to complain about what was a tough first half that turned around late on. Jones has slowly played his way into the starting XI, though the return of Alexis Mac Allister could see him rotated.
JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Mohamed Salah - Nets brace Salah scored two goals and assisted once from six shots and four chances created in Monday's 4-2 victory against Newcastle United.
Impact Salah is off to AFCON but he left Liverpool with a world class performance. Two goals and an assist and what was so nearly a hat trick if not for a penalty save by Martin Dubravka. Salah will be nigh on impossible to replace on the right wing, though Darwin Nunez may be called upon to shift to the right while Diogo Jota plays centrally in January. Salah could return as soon as the start of February but if Egypt make a deep run he could be out for up to seven matches.
JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Owen Beck - Recalled from loan Beck was recalled to Liverpool, ending his loan to Dundee FC.
Impact Beck will link up with Liverpool as now the most senior fit left-back in the team. He likely will be a bench option behind Joe Gomez, though Beck is expected to start in cup competitions to keep Gomez fit for the Premier League. Beck was one of the best players during the first half of the season with Dundee FC, but he could be sent back out on loan near the end of January if Andrew Robertson (shoulder) is available once more.
