Nobody in our front 5 is impossible to replace other than Salah. He proved what a fucking machine he is yet again on Saturday. Sunday for example I'm more than happy to go into it with Salah Diaz Gakpo. 

 

We've just had a run of fixtures without Salah and been fine.

 

We struggle more when Nunez is missing.

[El Rojo]

Salah looked revitalised at the weekend. Maybe the few weeks our will have done him good.

If you dislike Salah, based on the time he just missed, you could make a phenomenal argument that he's way less important than he seems. 3 goals per game without him.

 

The correct take is still that he should be sold this upcoming summer.

Apart from the one that really mattered. Darwin starts unequivocally in our best front 3 but it's not Salah levels of doom if he doesn't.

Journalist Dominic King has shared projected injury timelines for three Liverpool players ahead of this week’s fixtures against Luton and Chelsea.

 

King said: “I believe Jota is going to be out for two months, which could be huge. Nunez a couple of weeks, Jones maybe a week. That’s what I’m led to be the case.”

 

[SasaS]

But, but, but... that's six weeks without Alisson.

[Red Banjo]

Well that's ruined my week.

 

Cheers, kids are crying.

[an tha]

I'll bet money Adrian plays against Abu Dhabi

[Fowlers God]

Klopp just confirmed that Ali is for the forseeable that he is out. 

 

Great

[TheHowieLama]

At least we caught it early....

[an tha]

Jota out for 'months'

 

We are in some bother...

 

Klopp on injuries:

"Not great, would like to say no issues but we have some. Not available: Alisson, muscle injury, not sure how long; Diogo, a knee issue, ruled out; Curtis, bone/ligament issue, ruled out; others - we think we will deal with it day by day. Muscle issues, we will see. If you see the lineup early enough you will see who did and who didn't make it. That's it. Trent, Szoboszlai are on their way back not in team training yet, so not available yet. That is the situation. What I said after the game if we have 11 we will go for it and that is the idea."

Jota out for 1 month ish so not as bad as first thought?

I think it was more of an attempt to not paint a whole negative picture. He said more than a month, its more likely 2+ months.

That's not what he said?

 

Klopp said: "With Diogo it will take months (not weeks). I couldn't say a timeframe even if I wanted to. That is just how it is. When you don't have these players it makes no sense (to guess)."

[Megadrive Man]

He didn't answer the question about Nunez either.

Reckon he falls into that....looks to me as if there is just so many that Klopp is a touch overwhelmed with it and it is all still very much up in the air with players....

[DJLJ]

So for Jota, that is basically this season more or less gone.

I'd say so.

 

Only three months of the season to go and it's at least two months out.

[Mathewbet1]

I rekon hell be back in around 1 month to six weeks

Based on what?

 

Klopp said this:

 

Klopp added: "With Diogo it will obviously rather take months (not weeks)"

 

[Chris]

That Alisson news is fucking catastrophic. 

[Barrington Womble]

So we're going to be running on empty for the rest of the season aren't we? This is really shit. 

[SasaS]

O, so it's basically Jota and Alisson, plus Trent will be a couple of weeks longer. We don't know about Jones. The rest of the season's regulars are available or coming back within a week or so.

Yep, biggest miss of the lot. He is going to be a monumental miss.

20 days before the City game. We gotta pray he'll be back for that. But "for the foreseeable" doesn't sound hopeful.
