Liverpool Injury Update: Confirmed Latest on Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez and more
Liverpool Injury Update: Alexander-Arnold, Gomez and Morton Latest as Reds Chase Title
Liverpool’s grip on the Premier League title has tightened, and with six games left, the finish line is in sight. After a frustrating blip against Fulham, Arne Slot’s men responded in typical fashion — a gutsy 2-1 win over West Ham sealed by Virgil van Dijk’s late heroics. Now 13 points clear of Arsenal, the title could be wrapped up as early as this weekend.

But while the dream of number 20 edges closer, there’s still work to be done — and the Reds aren’t quite at full strength just yet.
Alisson Returns, Others Still Sidelined
There was one big boost on Sunday. Alisson Becker was back between the sticks, a sight for sore eyes at Anfield after weeks on the treatment table. His return is timely, easing the pressure on Caoimhín Kelleher and Slot’s backline during the run-in.

Still, Liverpool remain without key defensive figures, including Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez. Both are edging towards a return — but not soon enough for the manager’s liking.
Trent Alexander-Arnold Update
The vice-captain’s absence continues to spark concern. Injured against PSG over a month ago, Alexander-Arnold has missed pivotal games, including the Carabao Cup final, and was ruled out of England duty as a result.
More worrying for Liverpool fans is the noise surrounding his future. Whispers grow louder of a summer switch to Real Madrid on a free transfer — and with no return date in sight, speculation only deepens.

Slot didn’t sugar-coat it before the Fulham defeat. “Not back in the upcoming weeks,” was the blunt assessment, hinting that we may not see Trent in red again this season.
Potential return date: May 2025

Joe Gomez Nearing Fitness
Joe Gomez’s campaign has been one of frustration. After missing January with a hamstring strain, the defender lasted less than ten minutes into his FA Cup return against Plymouth before limping off again.
The damage was enough to require surgery. While he’s back in light training, Liverpool are targeting the season’s final weeks for his return.

Slot confirmed back in February: “Joe Gomez had surgery for his hamstring injury, so he’s out for a long time. He will be back maybe just before the end of the season.”

Tyler Morton’s Season Likely Over
Tyler Morton’s loan stint at Hull City has been curtailed by injury too. Initially ruled out for a month with a shoulder issue in February, it’s since emerged that surgery was necessary.

With recovery timelines uncertain, it’s increasingly unlikely the young midfielder will feature again this season.
Potential return date: Summer 2025
As Liverpool zero in on the title, the return of key players like Alisson will prove vital. But for others, time may have already run out in this campaign.
