Liverpool injury list and return dates for RB Leipzig: Jota, Chiesa latest

Out to make it three for three in the 2024-25 Champions League campaign, Liverpool head to Germany to pit their wits against RB Leipzig on Wednesday evening.

Arne Slot continues to ride cloud nine on Merseyside and oversaw his 10th win from 11 matches in charge at the weekend, as the Reds bested Chelsea 2-1 to remain top of the Premier League table.

The six-time European Cup winners have also made the perfect start to their latest continental adventure, following up their 3-1 victory over AC Milan with a 2-0 beating of Bologna on matchday two.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Leipzig, who lost 3-2 to Juventus last time out on the continent.

There was initially hope that Harvey Elliott might be able to return from his foot fracture at the end of this month, but the youngster may need a couple more weeks to get back up to speed, even though he is now running outdoors again.
