One star is missing training with his international squad, raising injury concerns at Liverpool. One of the Reds' problems.

Lately, Liverpool has experienced some injury concerns. After all, the season has officially begun, which is causing some issues.

The headline here is definitely Alisson Becker. After suffering an injury against Galatasaray, the Brazilian was unable to play against Chelsea, and Arne Slot stated he would be sidelined until at least after the international break.

If it is longer than that, we will just have to wait and see. Naturally, Alisson has never had the best luck with injuries.

In that Galatasaray match, Hugo Ekitike was also substituted out early, and Andy Robertson seemed to be struggling following Chelsea's loss. Another problematic player is Wataru Endo, who was taken out of Japan's squad during this break.

Abrahama Konate's issue

Ibrahima Konate is currently very unsure. Actually, there are conflicting accounts of his injury.

We are aware of his injury, nevertheless. Slot later confirmed that he had a thigh problem, which is why he was taken out of the Chelsea match.

Nevertheless, Konate received a call from France and was scheduled for a scan on Monday. Actually, everything sounded really good, but according to Le Parisien, the defender did not show up for training this week.

Lisandro Martinez returns to first-team training, giving Manchester United a significant conditioning boost ahead of their Premier League matchup against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Lisandro Martinez has returned to first-team training for Manchester United, giving them a significant fitness boost ahead of their Premier League matchup against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Due to a serious knee injury sustained during a Premier League match against Crystal Palace, the Argentina international has not played for the 20-time English champions since early February.

However, Martinez has been speeding up his recuperation in recent weeks, and on Wednesday, the former Ajax centre-back was allowed to rejoin his teammates for training.

It is extremely doubtful that Martinez will play for Man United when they travel to Forest on Saturday, but the 27-year-old might return to the team for the match against Tottenham Hotspur on November 9.

Lisandro Martinez of Manchester United resumes training with the first team.


According to Man United head coach Ruben Amorim, "He’s feeling fine," last week. "I do not want to mention a single day or week because the knee is doing so wonderfully.

"I am not sure, but the team's training is about to begin. After that, Licha's rhythm will determine whether he places or not, but he is closer to starting training again.

The Red Devils will not be taking any chances with the Argentine because of the severity of the injury, and his return may be postponed until after the international break in November.

Luke Shaw's place in the starting lineup is now seriously threatened; therefore, Martinez's return is a significant boost for the 20-time English champions. Martinez is an expert in the left-sided role in the back three.

After joining Old Trafford from Ajax in the summer of 2022, the South American has made 91 appearances for the Red Devils, tallying three goals and three assists.
