Spurs head to Anfield on Sunday with the Reds in a relatively good position fitness-wise, following months of several absentees.

Conor Bradley and Diogo Jota are nearing their returns while Stefan Bajcetic has continued his comeback with the Under-21s last week.

Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara are the main players still some way from a return.

Jurgen Klopp will update fans on his squad’s status on Friday.

Here is your latest update of Liverpool injury news and potential return dates.

Diogo Jota

Liverpool ruled Jota out for two weeks when he picked up a knock in the win at Fulham on April 21.

“Both [Jota and Bradley] not ready,” Klopp said before the West Ham trip last weekend.

I think it will take time, a little bit.”

Therefore, it is hoped the Portuguese forward will be back in the squad for the Tottenham match.

Potential return date: Sunday, May 5 vs Tottenham

Stefan Bajcetic

A long season of injury issues, most of which were prompted by growing pains, has been tough to take for promising young midfielder Bajcetic.

Back on the bench for the West Ham game, he played his third Under-21s match a day later as he got an hour under his belt.

Liverpool are taking it slowly with his return to first-team action but he should make the squad for this weekend’s game.

Potential return date: Sunday, May 5 vs Tottenham

Conor Bradley 

An ankle injury has kept right-back Bradley sidelined for almost three weeks.

But, like Jota, Klopp has suggested the youngster is in contention for an imminent return to the squad.

Potential return date: Sunday, May 5 vs Tottenham

Joel Matip

Matip has likely played his last game in Liverpool colours after rupturing his ACL in December.

Klopp confirmed that he won’t play again this season and his contract is up in the summer. 

Potential return date: Summer 2024

Thiago Alcantara

Thiago has only played five minutes of football for Liverpool this season.

He missed the first half of the season with a hip injury, before making his return as a substitute against Arsenal on February 4.

I cannot say more about it, to be honest."

Thiago’s contract also expires in the summer, and he might not play another game for Liverpool after another injury-hit season. 

Potential return date: Summer 2024

Ben Doak

After surgery on his knee over the winter, Doak is expected to miss the remainder of the campaign.

Potential return date: Summer 2024
