Still going from strength to strength under Arne Slot’s wing, Liverpool round off 2024 on Sunday evening with a Premier League trip to West Ham United.
The Reds had to do it the hard way against Leicester City on Boxing Day, but they ultimately emerged victorious by a 3-1 scoreline on a momentous day for Mohamed Salah.
Thanks to Chelsea also slipping up at home to Fulham, Liverpool have maintained their unassailable advantage at the summit of the Premier League table and will enter 2025 looking down on the other 19 teams in the division.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with West Ham, who subjected Southampton to a 1-0 defeat on Thursday.
Ibrahima Konate
Midfielder on the naughty step:
Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: January 5 (vs. Manchester United)
Ibrahima Konate hurt his knee in the Champions League win over Real Madrid at the end of last month, and as he is only partially back in team training, he will not be ready to make his return on Sunday.
Conor Bradley
Midfielder on the naughty step: Liverpool injury, suspension list for West Ham
Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: January 5 (vs. Manchester United)
Similarly, Conor Bradley sustained a hamstring problem against the reigning European champions a few weeks ago, but the right-back might be fit to return against Manchester United at the start of January.
