Joel Matip - Hopeful to return before break Matip (calf) is hopeful to return in the next couple weeks, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "I think with him it will be tight until the World Cup break, hopefully the last two...

Impact Matip suffered the injury about two weeks ago, so this looks like a month-long absence for him. He's a doubt to start before the break, but there's a chance he'll be in the squad for a couple of the matches. At that point, playing time will depend on the fitness of fellow center-backs Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez.

Naby Keita - Expected in full training next week Keita (strain) is expected to return to full training next week, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

Impact Keita has been out for the entire season, so this recovery could still take another week before he's in a squad. He'll probably need a full week of training before he can be considered an option again and even then he'll have to make a couple appearances off the bench before he's ready to start. By then, it'll be time for the World Cup break.

Ibrahima Konate - Will fully train next week Konate (strain) will be involved in full training early next week, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

Impact Fortunately for Konate, this seems like a minor issue and he could be in the squad next Champions League match. That said, making a return to the starting XI will take time given that he's barely played this season because of injury. Joe Gomez is expected to remain at center-back until Konate and Joel Matip are ready to return.

Alisson - Saves penalty in win Alisson made three saves, including a penalty save, in Wednesday's 1-0 victory over West Ham United.

Impact Alisson was absolutely heroic during Wednesday's win, including saving a spot kick to hold onto a narrow advantage at the end of the first half. That is now two Premier League clean sheets in a row for Liverpool and Alisson as they continue to finally find some of the form that made them one of the title favorites. Alisson is right back to being one of the top options in England.

Mohamed Salah - Six shots in win Salah had six shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-0 win over West Ham United.

Impact Salah shot six times but failed to score, though the volume and the danger of the shots make this seem like the exception, not the rule. Salah has turned his season around since the international break and once again looks like one of the most lethal players in the Premier League. Add to that his excellent ceiling and Salah remains a top option.

Kostas Tsimikas - Assists again Tsimikas assisted once to go with eight crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 1-0 win over West Ham United.

Impact Tsimikas has made just seven starts in all competitions but has five assists in those matches. The left-back has been wildly productive when in the starting XI, with plenty of volume and a role on set-pieces to go with it. It appears that his role will continue to grow as he is becoming more frequently rotated with Andrew Robertson, as opposed to being purely an understudy.

Darwin Nunez - Nets in win Nunez scored one goal to go with six shots (three on goal) in Wednesday's 1-0 victory over West Ham United.

Impact Nunez scored his third Premier League goal and it proved to be a huge one, earning all three points in a defensive game. The striker finally showed flashes of what pushed Liverpool to sign him in the Summer, with some dangerous shots and brilliant movement off the ball. Nunez and Roberto Firmino will continue rotating up top for Liverpool in the busy lead up to the World Cup break.

Roberto Firmino - Held off score sheet Firmino had five shots (two on goal) and two chances created in Wednesday's 1-0 victory over West Ham United.

Impact Firmino may not have gotten back in the goals but he still looked excellent Wednesday, coming inches away on two different occasions. The striker has been showing some of the best form he's shown in years, and has earned his spot leading the line for Liverpool once more. With Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz both sidelined with injuries, Firmino will likely be a nailed-on starter in some capacity.

Curtis Jones - On bench against West Ham Jones (calf) is in Liverpool's match day squad for Wednesday's clash against West Ham United.

Impact Jones has been sidelined with a calf injury since just before the season began in early August, but he is available off the bench Wednesday for the first time in this campaign. He's still behind Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Thiago Alcantara in Liverpool's midfield depth chart, with Harvey Elliott and James Milner in the mix as well.

OCTOBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - On bench against West Ham Oxlade-Chamberlain (hamstring) is in Liverpool's match day squad for Wednesday's clash against West Ham United.

Impact Oxlade-Chamberlain is available for the first time this campaign since suffering a hamstring injury during preseason in July. Even with all the injuries Liverpool have suffered this year, Oxlade-Chamberlain is still pretty far down the midfield depth chart, with Thiago Alcantara and Jordan Henderson getting the starts on Wednesday.
