Liverpool continues to face injury setbacks as key players remain sidelined ahead of their highly anticipated match against Chelsea. Mo Salah, Nunez, and Szoboszlai were all absent in recent games due to various fitness issues. Salah is recovering from muscle fatigue following a hamstring injury suffered at the Africa Cup of Nations last month, while Nunez picked up an unspecified issue that forced him out of a previous match, and Szoboszlai is still dealing with a hamstring injury sustained in a game against Chelsea on January 31.

Jurgen Klopp's assistant, Pep Lijnders, emphasized the importance of monitoring the players closely due to the demanding schedule. With Alisson Becker ruled out for a month, Caoimhin Kelleher is set to start in goal, and Conor Bradley is expected to continue at right-back in the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold. Klopp will, however, be able to rely on a strong defensive partnership with Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate returning to the lineup alongside Andrew Robertson, who was rested in the previous game.

The team is facing challenges ahead of their upcoming matches, but Klopp remains optimistic about his squad's ability to cope with the demands of the season. Liverpool fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on the injured players as they prepare to face Chelsea in a crucial match at Wembley.
