Liverpool Injury Update, Key Absences Persist As PSG Clash Looms

Liverpool are continuing to manage a growing list of injury concerns ahead of their upcoming fixture against Paris Saint-Germain, with several first-team players unavailable and others racing against time to return.

Manager Arne Slot has confirmed that a number of key figures remain sidelined, including first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who is still recovering from an injury sustained last month. The Brazilian has yet to resume full training and is not expected to feature in the midweek clash.

Midfielder Curtis Jones is also a doubt after picking up a groin issue during Liverpool’s recent win over Fulham. Slot indicated that it would be “a surprise” if Jones is fit in time to face PSG.

Longer-term absentees continue to impact squad depth. Defender Conor Bradley has been ruled out for the remainder of the season following knee surgery earlier in the campaign, while summer signing Giovanni Leoni is not expected to return this season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury on his debut.

Midfielder Wataru Endo is also facing an extended spell on the sidelines due to a foot injury sustained in February, with no clear timeline for his return.

Meanwhile, young talent Stefan Bajcetic remains unavailable, having yet to feature during the 2025–26 season. The Spaniard has endured a frustrating recovery process, repeatedly suffering setbacks in his rehabilitation despite nearing a return on multiple occasions.

Despite the injury setbacks, Liverpool have avoided disciplinary issues, with no players currently suspended.

As the club prepares for a crucial European encounter, Slot will be forced to rely on squad depth and emerging players to navigate a challenging period in the season.
