Several crucial squad members are either sidelined or in a race against time to regain fitness:

Trent Alexander-Arnold – Unlikely to feature due to a lingering hamstring issue.

Mohamed Salah – Picked up a muscle injury during international duty but still has a chance to play.

Diogo Jota – Facing uncertainty as he battles a knee problem.

Andy Robertson – Recovering from a knock, though he might be risked if necessary.

Dominik Szoboszlai – Dealing with a minor fitness concern, but Slot remains hopeful.

Curtis Jones & Thiago Alcântara – Both have been out long-term and are unlikely to return in time.

Darwin Núñez – Reports suggest a minor foot issue, making his availability uncertain.

Alisson Becker – Still dealing with a muscle problem, casting doubt on his participation.
