Liverpool’s Seven-Player Injury List Challenges Arne Slot in Champions League Test
Liverpool return from the international break with multiple fitness doubts. The squad faces selection problems ahead of a Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain.
Fixture and context
The Reds suffered a 2-1 defeat to Brighton before the break. That result leaves Champions League and top-four hopes under pressure.
The team paused for a two-week international hiatus in late March 2026. Manager Arne Slot must weigh recovery timelines before the next club fixtures.
Key injured players
- Mohamed Salah – Hurt in the Champions League victory over Galatasaray. He missed the Premier League trip to Brighton and did not travel with Egypt.
- Alisson Becker – Picked up an injury before the international break. He missed the Brighton match and confirmed a spell on the sidelines.
- Federico Chiesa – Withdrawn from Italy’s squad and returned to Merseyside without making an appearance for his country.
- Alexander Isak – Recovering from an ankle injury and a fractured fibula sustained in December. He is rebuilding fitness and edging nearer to a return.
Long-term absentees
- Wataru Endo – Sidelined with an ankle problem suffered in a February win over Sunderland.
- Conor Bradley – Out after an ACL injury that required surgery.
- Giovanni Leoni – Also recovering from ACL surgery and is not expected back before season end.
Manager perspective and next steps
Slot acknowledged the club will monitor every international return for fresh issues. He stressed hope that some players might recover quicker than expected.
With a seven-player injury list challenging Arne Slot, selection choices will be limited. Recovery reports will shape the squad for the PSG tie.
