Trent Alexander-Arnold: The Scouse full-back suffered a hamstring injury during the 3-0 win over Aston Villa and has been sidelined for three weeks. Although he’s back to running, he hadn’t returned to full training in time for the West Ham match. There’s hope he could make his return against Tottenham on September 30.

Expected return date: Late September

Thiago Alcantara: Thiago was on the verge of returning to action but had a setback in training in August. Jurgen Klopp confirmed his return to training plans but noted the setback. Liverpool aims to reintegrate him into full training soon, but the exact return date remains unknown.

Expected return date: Unknown

Conor Bradley: The young full-back displayed promise during preseason, playing 90 minutes over two fixtures. He was left out of the squad that traveled to Singapore due to a minor, unspecified injury and hasn’t featured in any matchday squads this season. However, he’s been involved in training since his teammates returned to England. Once fit, Bradley is expected to serve as an understudy to Alexander-Arnold.

Thiago Alcantara has no return date yet

While Klopp is expected to make some changes to the lineup for the Carabao Cup clash with Leicester, the availability of these players will be crucial as the season progresses, providing depth and options for the squad.
