Liverpool will take on Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday at Anfield.
The Reds are heading into this game on the back of a 1-0 win over Girona in the Champions League in midweek.
Liverpool’s last league game was a pulsating 3-3 draw against Newcastle United, and Arne Slot will demand an improvement in performance.
The Reds boss will be glad to find that almost the entire squad is fit. This will help him rotate the players during the busy festive period.
Liverpool have released new training pictures via the club’s official website, in which Diogo Jota, Federico Chiesa and Kostas Tsimikas are all seen taking part in full training at the AXA training complex.
With the games coming thick and fast, the Reds fans will be buzzing to find that almost all the players are back to full fitness.
Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konate are out injured, but the Reds have enough cover for those positions.
At left-back, Tsimikas is back, which means Slot can now rotate that area with Andy Robertson.
Liverpool will be delighted to get Chiesa back. Since joining the club in the summer from Juventus, the Italy forward has barely played due to injuries.
Tsimi 👊–
With Darwin Nunez struggling to score, he can be a potent option upfront. Having said that, Liverpool are likely to integrate him gradually so that he doesn’t pick up another injury.
Alisson Becker and Harvey Elliott have already started playing after returning from injuries.
Alexis MacAllister is suspended for the game against Fulham, and Slot is likely to continue with the same trio that faced against Girona in midweek.
Liverpool will travel to Southampton next in the Carabao Cup, and Wataru Endo could replace Ryan Gravenberch in the side.
The Reds are at the top of the Premier League, four points above Chelsea, and have a game in hand.
