The Reds have had a tough time finding luck this term.

Conor Bradley and Florian Wirtz are both sidelined for the upcoming games, handing Liverpool a double injury blow.

Additionally, manager Arne Slot lacks a specialist right-back because Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong will probably miss at least three weeks and seven games.

£100 million signing Wirtz, who is yet to score or assist for Liverpool in the Premier League, has experienced yet another setback in his debut season with the Reds.

Goalkeeper Alisson is back to full fitness, and Slot has confirmed he will start against Nottingham Forest on Saturday. In the absence of the Brazilian, Giorgi Mamardashvili was filling in as the number one.

Slot issues update on Alisson and other Liverpool stars

Due to a hamstring injury sustained during Liverpool’s 1-0 loss to Galatasaray, Alisson has missed the team’s last eight games. But is now back.

Slot said: “If Alisson is able to play, he will start. Alisson trained last week and this week and will be able to play (on Saturday) if things work out. We do have some issues after the international break. Conor Bradley is not able to play and Florian Wirtz not able to play. That is far from ideal.”

“Both (are) muscle issues. I don’t expect Conor to be part of the next 22 days. Maybe in the end of the upcoming 22 days unless a miracle happens. Florian… it depends on how things work but it shouldn’t have to be that long.”

Frimpong update

Frimpong, who has only started once in the Premier League since joining from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer, was injured in the 5-1 Champions League victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.

And Slot added: “Jeremie is out just as long (as Bradley) and probably not going to be available for the upcoming two or three weeks as well. It’s going to be interesting who you want to see as a right full-back.”

Will Alisson Becker play against Forest?

Slot has confirmed that Alisson might start after training last week.

How long will Conor Bradley be out?

He will be out for 22 days.

How long will Wirtz be out?

He said he won’t be out for that long.
