Echo: Liverpool’s six injured players are not expected to play this year, and four players are expected to return in January.

December 30-Liverpool is actively preparing for the final game against Leicester City in 2022 after beating Aston Villa on Boxing Day, the Liverpool Echo reported. The good news is that French centre-back Konate, who took a break after the World Cup, has returned to training and Klop has confirmed that he can play. But beyond that, the Germans still have a lot of wounded soldiers-some of them will return soon, but some will be out for a long time.
Louis Diaz
Luis Diaz has not played since he suffered a knee injury against Arsenal on October 3.
He was initially expected to make a comeback after the World Cup, but he suffered a setback when Liverpool trained in Dubai earlier this month, causing the Colombia international to undergo further surgery and prolonging his absence. It is not clear when he will return to the pitch, but Liverpool hope it will be around March.
Expected comeback date: March 2023
Milner
Milner strained a muscle in the Carling Cup defeat to Manchester City shortly before Christmas. The veteran midfielder has missed the league against Aston Villa on Boxing Day and will also miss the game against Leicester City on Friday night.
There is no exact date for Milner’s return, but Liverpool hope the veteran will return soon after New Year’s Day. In an interview on December 23, Klop said: “Millie (Milner) is not getting better-he will miss a few games.”
Expected comeback date: January 2023
Ruo Ta
Jorta has been sidelined with a calf injury since the victory over Manchester City on November 6. As a result of the injury, the striker missed the World Cup and will remain in the treatment room for some time and continue to recover.
Although it has not yet returned to any form of outdoor training, Liverpool hope Jotta will return to the team sometime in February. Assistant coach Lindes said on December 21st: “We think Diogo is recovering on schedule, so it’s going well. He’s in Dubai-he attended all the meetings and videoconferences.” That’s good. ”
Expected comeback date: February 2023
Curtis Jones
Jones has not trained for the team since the end of the World Cup and has missed games against Manchester City and Aston Villa in a row. The young midfielder will not play against Leicester either. Klop confirmed at a press conference that none of the previously injured players will make a comeback.
On December 21, assistant manager Lindes said: “Curtis is still a week away from returning to the team for training.”
Expected comeback date: January 2023
Fermino
Fermino was temporarily excluded from the trip to Etihad Stadium after suffering a muscle injury shortly before the Carling Cup match against Manchester City. The Brazilian also missed the league against Aston Villa and is still unable to return to Leicester City in time.
Liverpool are hopeful that Fermino will be back in early January. In an interview on December 23, Klop said: “the situation with Bobby (Fermino) is that he has changed for the better, even if it will take a few more days, but it is not a big deal.” So we will observe his condition day by day. ”
Expected comeback date: January 2023
Artur
Artur has not been able to resume training since he was sidelined in October due to a muscle injury. After joining Juventus on loan, Artur played only 13 minutes for the Reds, coming off the bench in the Champions League against Napoli. Liverpool hope the Brazilian will recover after New Year’s Day and return to the team as soon as possible.
