Alexander Isak

Alexander Isak returned to the matchday squad on Sunday but did not come off the bench against Manchester City despite Liverpool needing a goal.

The striker has been struggling with a groin injury but only returned to training with his team-mates on Friday so is lacking match fitness.

Ahead the weekend, Slot said of Isak: “He will train with the team for the first time today after being three weeks out. I know I said three weeks ago his pre-season was ended, so now we have to see where he is.

“If you are three weeks only with the rehab, that doesn’t bring him back to the levels he was three weeks ago, although our rehab team has done an incredible job. You cannot compare rehab with games of football or training with the team. As much as we try to replicate it, it’s simply not possible. So, again I have to say give him some time.”

Potential return date: Nottingham Forest (H) on Saturday, November 22, 2025

Alisson Becker

Alisson Becker is nearing a return after a number of weeks out with a thigh injury.

Giorgi Mamardashvili has impressed in patches while acting as understudy, notably saving a penalty from Erling Haaland on Sunday, but Alisson’s imminent return will be a big boost for the Reds.

Arne Slot said on Friday: “Alisson for sure [will be back] after the international break ... we expect this.”

Jeremie Frimpong

Jeremie Frimpong is also nearing a return, but is a little behind Alisson Becker on his road to recovery.

The defender last month against Frankfurt suffered his second hamstring injury of the season and was ruled out for six weeks.

Arne Slot, though, has suggested that Frimpong is slightly ahead of schedule and could even return before the end of November.

The Reds boss said: “I expect Jeremie back after the international break as well because we play from November to March. But I don’t expect Jeremie to be fully fit [to face Nottingham] Forest.”

Potential return date: West Ham (A) on Sunday, November 30, 2025

Giovanni Leoni

Leoni suffered an ACL injury on his Liverpool debut against Southampton back in September.

The 18-year-old impressed in his first minutes in red, but was stretchered off shortly after.

He later underwent surgery and is expected to spend a year on the sidelines.

“He’s not in a good place, of course,” Slot said of the Italian. “He tore his ACL which means that he will be out for around a year.”
