Liverpool injury, suspension list and return dates vs. Brighton: Mo Salah, Alexander Isak, Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo latest

Will Salah be back? Liverpool injury and suspension list vs. Brighton

Fresh from their Champions League triumph in midweek, Liverpool will travel to take on Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex as part of Saturday's Premier League action.

Arne Slot's Reds overturned a 1-0 defeat at RAMS Park by hammering Galatasaray 4-0 at Anfield in the second leg of their round of 16 tie on Wednesday, setting up a mouthwatering quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain in the process.

Mohamed Salah was impressive on the night despite missing a penalty, delivering an assist for Hugo Ekitike before rounding off the scoring with a brilliant strike from just outside the box.

However, the Egyptian pulled up late on with an injury and asked to be substituted, a worrying sign for the Merseysiders given their talisman had been at the heart of one their best performances of the season against Cimbom.

Read on as Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Brighton on Saturday.


GIOVANNI LEONI

Status: Out

Type of injury: ACL

Possible return date: Unknown

Nineteen-year-old centre-back Giovanni Leoni was unfortunate enough to suffer an anterior cruciate ligament injury on his Liverpool debut back in September.

The former Parma defender is set to return in the 2026-27 season, when he will link up with fellow young star Jeremy Jacquet.


WATARU ENDO

Status: Out

Type of injury: Ankle / Foot

Possible return date: Unknown

Defensive midfielder Wataru Endo was stretchered off during the Reds' clash against Sunderland on February 11 after trying to battle on following a major ankle and foot injury.

The injury was severe, but the Japan captain will be hoping to be ready for the World Cup in the summer, and Slot has mentioned that "The plan is for him to be ready in time" for the tournament.


ALEXANDER ISAK

Status: Out

Type of injury: Lower leg

Possible return date: April 11 (vs. Fulham)

Alexander Isak cost Liverpool £125m in the summer, but he has been absent for significant amounts of the season so far due to a variety of injury problems.

His latest setback was a complex lower leg injury that required surgery, and while he is expected to be back in full training in late March or early April, Slot warned fans that it will take time for the striker to get up to speed.


MOHAMED SALAH

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Unknown

Possible return date: Unknown

Salah played a starring role in Liverpool's thrashing of Galatasaray, but he asked to be substituted in the second half and headed straight down the tunnel for treatment after coming off.

The manager mentioned after the game that the injury needs to be assessed, and that it remains to be seen whether the 33-year-old will be ready to feature against Brighton, saying "Let's see where he is for the weekend and afterwards.”


CONOR BRADLEY

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Right-back Conor Bradley will be out for the remainder of the season after suffering a major knee injury against Arsenal on January 8.

The 22-year-old may even miss some of the 2026-27 term after undergoing successful surgery on the issue.
