Looks like all 4 were back in team training today. Hopefully see at least a couple of them in the squad for the derby on Monday.

The next 'few' weeks! He means before the end of the season?

Klopp joins the injury list with a hamstring pull.

Medical team definitely needs looking into.

So pleased for Nunez.

Newcastle, you can stick your oil money up your *****

When, dafuq, are we going to see Thiago, Bajcetic, Bradley available for selection?

Bajcetic has been on the bench the last 2 games. Klopp said Thiago and Jones should be available for Villa. No news on Bradley since he got injured in pre-season. Hopefully Konate only has a minor injury.

Looks like Trent is out for a “few weeks” with a minor knee ligament issue. He has become a very important player for us and we need him 100% for the second half of the season.

Thiago not expected to resume training until the start of next month? Really? This is beyond a joke at this stage

Last update was just before the Fulham game from Pep Lijnders. Trent and Szoboszlai likely to be playing again by the end of the month. Robertson and Tsimikas on target to back in full training towards the end of the month. Thiago and Bajcetic back in full training in February.

Then of course we have Matip out for the season. I think Doak is due back towards the end of the season. And Endo and Salah are very likely to make it to the group stages with their international teams so likely we won't see them again until February.

Might look a little like this but hopefully Japan and Egypt don't go all the way to their respective finals and Endo and Salah are available a little earlier than the Brentford game.

10. Dominik Szobozlai – hamstring
The midfield player was substituted off in the 4-2 victory over Newcastle on New Year’s Day, and he has not played in the last two games. Szoboszlai, though, has stated that he is taking his recuperation day by day and that he plans to make a comeback against Bournemouth.
Potential return game: Bournemouth (A), Sunday 21 January.

9. Trent Alexander-Arnold – knee
The injury sustained by the Liverpool vice captain during the team’s 2-0 FA Cup victory over Arsenal has sidelined him for a period of three weeks. This implies that Alexander-Arnold might miss the next three games for the Reds.

8. Andy Robertson – shoulder
Since he suffered his injury in October while playing for Scotland, the left-back has been sidelined for Liverpool. Robertson may require some time to gain fitness, but he is scheduled to resume team training at the end of the month.
Potential return: February

7. Kostas Tsimikas – collarbone
The Greece international fractured his collarbone during a 1-1 draw with Arsenal on December 23, placing him on the treatment table along with other senior left-backs. Although Tsimikas was predicted to be out of commission for an extended period of time, he has improved and is scheduled to return to training at the end of the month.

6. Thiago Alcanata – hip
After undergoing hip surgery, the midfield player has been out of the Liverpool lineup for almost nine months. Due to several setbacks in his recuperation, Thiago won’t be able to resume training until the following month. Then, a lot will depend on when he feels game-ready.
Potential return: February

5. Stefan Bajcetic – growing pains
Given the 19-year-old midfielder’s age, Liverpool is being cautious with him because they don’t want to exacerbate his problem. Bajcetic is expected to return to training the following month.
Potential return: February

4. Joel Matip – knee
The Reds defender ruptured his ACL in a 4-3 victory over Fulham last month and required surgery. Matip’s availability for play this season is uncertain.

3. Ben Doak – knee
The exciting eighteen-year-old needed surgery last month to address a serious injury.
Potential return: N/A

2. Mo Salah – African Cup of Nations
The talisman of Liverpool is looking to win Egypt a championship in the Ivory Coast. In their first-ever match, the Pharoahs were tied 2-2 with Mozambique until Salah’s penalty in the 97th minute. Salah’s return date will be determined by how far Egypt advances in the competition.
Potential return: February

1. Wataru Endo – Asian Cup
The midfielder’s campaign for Japan got off to a great start. He contributed to a 4-2 victory over Vietnam. When it comes to his return date, he is in a similar situation to Salah.

Just hope we continue winning, feb time majority should be back,then we could have a good crack on all fronts. A fit thiago for remainder of season would do wonders.

I have no expectation that Thiago will ever play a game for us again. Reminds me of Aquilani and that recent Brazilian lad whose name I can't remember because he played only 15 minutes (if that) !!

Lol Ironically Arthur Melo has played about 20 games this season with Fiorentina...

Pretty sure Aquilani and Arthur never made it into a PFA team of the year (voted for by the players themselves).
