Naby Keita - Back in training Keita (strain) returned to training Tuesday but is ineligible for Wednesday's match against Ajax, according to Theo Squires of the Liverpool Echo.

Impact Keita is still out until Saturday's match against Leeds as he wasn't registered for the UCL group stage due to early-season injury issues. Should he get fit before the World Cup break and by 2023, he could play a bigger role in the second half of the season.

Ibrahima Konate - Full participant in training Konate (strain) was a full participant in Tuesday's training session ahead of Wednesday's UCL trip to Ajax, according to Theo Squires of the Liverpool Echo.

Impact Konate has missed each of the last three matches and could make the squad list for just the fourth time this season. The absence of Joel Matip (calf) means that Konate could play some role in Wednesday's game.

Darwin Nunez - Returns to training Nunez (hamstring) participated in Tuesday's training session ahead of Wednesday's match against Ajax, according to Theo Squires of the Liverpool Echo.

Impact Nunez stays on schedule after only narrowly missing Saturday's 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest. He's scored three times in his last four appearances and will hope to reclaim his place in the lineup from Roberto Firmino for Wednesday's trip to the Netherlands.

Alisson - Concedes one in loss Alisson conceded one goal and made six saves during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Alisson couldn't do much about Taiyo Awoniyi's goal but otherwise kept his team firmly in contention during a difficult match. With just two goals conceded in his last four games, Alisson continues to put himself in prime form ahead of the World Cup, though he's still conceded 19 goals in 15 starts as the defense hasn't met the same standards as in past seasons.

Fabinho - Quiet in loss Fabinho played the full 90 during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Fabinho has recorded just four tackles in his last three matches (two starts). As he completed the full 90 Saturday and not in the two games before, Fabinho hasn't recorded a clean sheet himself in nine straight appearances.

Harvey Elliott - Creates three chances in loss Elliott created three chances and put one shot on target during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest

Impact Elliott, like Fabio Carvalho, has started three times in the last four games to make up for the growing injury issues their team faces. As Elliott has scored once and created five chances during those starts, he's doing well to stay involved even when Mohamed Salah is frequently getting most of the shots on goal.

Fabio Carvalho - Takes four shots in loss Carvalho took four shots (one on goal) in 62 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Carvalho has started three times in the last four matches and should continue to play due to the injury crisis his team faces until 2023. Though he's likely to start with some frequency, there's no guarantee he can produce goals at the same rate as Diogo Jota or Luis Diaz, the two he's tasked with replacing for now.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - Logs eight crosses as substitue Alexander-Arnold created two chances from eight crosses and put one shot on target in 28 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Alexander-Arnold has come off the bench in consecutive league matches but played a key role in giving his side a fighting chance late in Saturday's contest. A busy finish before the World Cup could see Alexander-Arnold rotated with more frequency but his attacking potential is well-known and should remain even though he has yet to record an assist in 14 appearances (12 starts).

James Milner - Creates three chances in loss Milner created three chances from seven crosses (four accurate) and made four tackles during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Milner also made a key block in the second half that saved a major scoring chance. He's started in two straight league matches due to some of the injury issues and was one of the best players on the pitch during Saturday's game. Keep an eye on how his minutes are managed during a busy and tough finish to the first half of the season with games against Ajax, Napoli and Spurs upcoming.

Andy Robertson - Gets busy in loss Robertson logged 10 crosses (four accurate) to create three chances during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Robertson reached double-digit crosses for the first time in six weeks but it came in a losing effort. A busy schedule has seen Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas rotate at left-back more frequently so keep this in mind ahead of each game.

OCTOBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mohamed Salah - Logs four shots in loss Salah took four shots (two on goal) during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Salah couldn't take advantage scoring the winner over Manchester City and instead it was the hosts who were in high spirits during Saturday's match. Though there have been some inconsistencies in how Salah and his team perform, injuries have played a role and Salah has still scored six times and logged one assist in his last seven matches.

OCTOBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Virgil Van Dijk - Takes two shots in loss Van Dijk took two shots (one on goal) and made two interceptions during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Van Dijk had a couple of scoring chances but was a little too selfless as the whole team wasted their opportunities in a tough road test. He's still conceded just one goal over the last three league matches and will take plenty of confidence into a harder schedule ahead of the World Cup.

Darwin Nunez - Ruled out Saturday Nunez will miss Saturday's game against Nottingham Forest due to hamstring soreness, manager Jurgen Klopp announced. "Darwin (Nunez) should be back (Wednesday against Ajax), this g...

Impact Nunez was said to be in doubt and didn't pass a late fitness test. Fabio Carvalho will fill in for him up front, starting along with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino. So long as he actually returns to training in the next few days, Nunez should have no problems contributing over the final games before the World Cup.

Thiago - Will miss Nottingham Forest game Thiago has been ruled out for Saturday's match versus Nottingham Forest due to an ear infection, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "And Thiago got a bad ear infection overnight. T...

Impact Thiago came down with an illness and won't be involved in this one. Curtis Jones is replacing him in the midfield, joining Fabinho and Harvey Elliott, while Jordan Henderson is on the bench. An ear infection shouldn't be too troubling but a busy schedule could mean Thiago is more limited than he'd like ahead of Wednesday's UCL match against Ajax.
