Liverpool will hope to avoid a third consecutive loss when they resume their Premier League title defence on Saturday against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The Reds were beaten 1-0 by Galatasaray on Tuesday in the Champions League, and they also lost 1-0 against Crystal Palace last Saturday in the league.

Arne Slot will be sweating on the fitness of the likes of Hugo Ekitike, who was forced off the pitch in the second half against Galatasaray.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their showdown with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Alisson Becker

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Alisson Becker was substituted in the second half of Liverpool's defeat against Galatasaray, and Slot has since confirmed that he will miss out on Saturday's game due to a hamstring issue, though the extent of his injury is unknown at this time.

Giovanni Leoni

Status: Out

Type of injury: ACL

Return date: August 2026

Giovanni Leoni started his first game of the season for the Reds on September 23 against Southampton, but his impressive debut was cut short after he damaged his knee, and he has since undergone surgery that is expected to keep him out for most, if not all, of this season.

Hugo Ekitike

Status: Minor doubt

Type of injury: Muscle

Return date: October 4 (vs. Chelsea)

Hugo Ekitike was taken off against Galatasaray as he complained of feeling pain after he stretched to reach the ball, but while the striker said he feels confident of having avoided picking up a serious injury, tests will be needed to determine if he is fit for Saturday's clash.

Federico Chiesa

Status: Minor doubt

Type of injury: Knock

Return date: October 4 (vs. Chelsea)

Federico Chiesa was left out of the squad that faced Galatasaray due to a "niggle" according to Slot, so the Dutchman decided to give the Italian every chance of being fit for the weekend instead of risking him on Tuesday.
