Liverpool have continued their unbeaten run, but it came at a high cost this weekend — most notably a serious injury to star striker Alexander Isak. The forward hurt his leg shortly after scoring in the Reds’ 2–1 Premier League win at Tottenham. Early signs point to a major injury that could keep him on the sidelines for months while scans are carried out to determine the full extent.
With Klopp’s squad already stretched — thanks to Africa Cup of Nations call-ups and other ongoing fitness issues — here’s a rundown of Liverpool’s current injury picture and the latest suggestions about when key players might be fit again:

🩹 Current Injury List & Expected Comeback Timeframes
🔸 Alexander Isak
The Sweden international was substituted soon after scoring due to what looks like a serious leg problem. Initial reports suggest a suspected fracture, meaning he could be sidelined for several months, possibly not returning until April/May 2026 — if everything goes well.
🔸 Florian Wirtz
Wirtz exited the Spurs game early with a hamstring concern. The issue appears to be precautionary, and he might be fit to face Wolves next weekend if all goes to plan.
🔸 Cody Gakpo
The Dutch forward has missed a string of matches with a muscle problem but has made encouraging progress. Liverpool are hopeful he could return around early January, with optimism that his layoff won’t stretch much longer.
🔸 Wataru Endo
Endo is currently out with an ankle injury and is expected to be sidelined for several weeks, meaning a return sometime in January seems possible.
🔸 Conor Bradley
Bradley went off at half-time due to a hamstring tweak. There’s no confirmed comeback date yet, but Liverpool are hopeful it isn’t serious.
🔸 Joe Gomez
The defender was forced off early in a recent match and remains out, with Liverpool yet to provide a clear return timeline.
🔸 Giovanni Leoni
The young defender suffered a major ACL injury earlier in the season and is expected to miss the rest of this campaign, possibly not returning until late 2026.
📉 Squad Impact
With Isak’s injury — if confirmed as serious — Liverpool’s attacking depth will be stretched even thinner. Alongside African Cup of Nations absences, that leaves only a handful of senior options available up front while injuries mount.
