Liverpool injury update: Giorgi Mamardashvili, Alisson Becker, Wataru Endo latest news and return dates | OneFootball

Reds were forced to field third-choice goalkeeper in derby last week

Arne Slot was dealt a huge injury concern during Sunday’s Merseyside derby victory as Liverpool beat Everton 2-1.

The Reds won the match in the last minute thanks to Virgil van Dijk’s injury-time header, after Mohamed Salah and Beto had scored either side of half time.

A big couple of weeks loom for the Reds in their Champions League chase, with a home game against Crystal Palace before a trip to Manchester United the week after.

With that in mind, here is all the latest Liverpool injury news and potential return dates...

Deputy goalkeeper Mamardashvili has filled in in the absence of Alisson Becker in recent weeks, but he could be out for a lengthy period after he was stretchered off at Everton.

It did not look good for the former Valencia shot-stopper at the time, with Slot issuing an update on him post-match.

“He is gone off to hospital,” Slot said.

Because of Mamardashvili’s injury, Slot was forced to throw on Freddie Woodman, the Reds’ third-choice goalkeeper, for his Premier League debut at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Alisson Becker

First-choice shot-stopper Alisson has also got a while left on the sidelines after he suffered a setback from his injury.

Details of what exactly his issue is remain unknown, but the Brazilian has been out since last month’s win over Galatasaray.

A couple of weeks ago, Slot said: "He will not be part of the PSG game either, (he is) out for a bit longer. Towards the end of the season, we expect him to be fit."

In a statement posted to his X account, though, Alisson seemed to think that he would be match-fit by the end of April.

He wrote: “I didn't suffer a new injury. I'm in the treatment phase, and the plan is to be in full playing condition by the end of April!”

Wataru Endo

Japan international Endo is out for the season after he went off injured against Sunderland back in February.

The midfielder suffered a serious foot injury.

While he won’t feature for his club again this term, he wants to return to captain Japan at the World Cup.

“Wataru will be out for a long time. We don't know exactly how long, but long,” Slot said of Endo in February.

Japanese manager Jahime Moriyasu later said that surgery on his ankle “went well, but I don’t know the details.”

He continued: “The plan is for [Endo] to be ready in time for the World Cup, so the rehabilitation process from surgery onwards is being considered.

Potential return date: June 2026

Conor Bradley

Northern Ireland international Bradley is also out for the campaign after he suffered a serious knee injury against Arsenal.

The right-back had surgery in January and won’t feature again this term.

Potential return date: Summer 2026

Young defender Leoni tore his ACL on his debut against Southampton in the Carabao Cup at the start of the season.

The Italian, who joined the Reds from Parma last summer, saw his debut campaign cut short with that injury.
