The Premier League champions welcome relegation-threatened West Ham United to Anfield this Saturday as they attempt to pick up 3 points to bolster their European hopes.
Arne Slot pulled off a late 1-0 victory against Nottingham Forest last week to keep up with Manchester United and Chelsea as all 3 sides compete for a spot inside the top 4.
Liverpool have won their last two Premier League matches by a 1-0 scoreline and will hope to be more clinical against The Hammers who are slowly heading towards the Championship.
Ahead of the clash, Slot sees the return of Jeremie Frimpong to the side as he bolsters his defence, but he will still miss out on Giovanni Leoni (knee) and Conor Bradley (knee) as the Dutchman slides in for Dominik Szoboszlai.
In midfield, Wataru Endo (anke / foot) and Florian Wirtz (lower back) are both out of contention as Slot gave an update on the German international on Friday morning.
“I don’t expect Florian to be available, that is a disappointment of course.
“Every time a player is not available it is a disappointment and also something I did not expect after last week, but that is sometimes how things evolve and unfortunately this time it is not in a positive way.”
“We hope and expect that he will be able to be with us again next week, but yeah, you never know how things work out.”
Finally, summer signing Alexander Isak (Calf/Shin/Heel Injury) is also absent and Slot predicts he won’t be back until the "end of March” as Liverpool turn to Hugo Ekitike once more.
