Liverpool Injury News: Isak, Endo, Frimpong - Return Dates

Wataru Endo suffered an ankle/foot injury during Liverpool's match against Sunderland on Wednesday, where he was stretchered off in the second half[1]. Manager Arne Slot confirmed that Endo is set for a lengthy absence, with fears his season could be over[1][2]. The exact recovery timeline remains unknown[1].

Jeremie Frimpong picked up a thigh muscle injury against Qarabag FK on January 28 and is currently unavailable[1]. However, Slot provided a more positive update, stating the injury "is not as bad as we thought he would be out," describing it as "a few weeks"[2]. Frimpong's potential return date is February 22 against Nottingham Forest[1].

Alexander Isak has been sidelined since December after suffering a complex lower leg injury, including a fibula fracture and ankle surgery, sustained during Liverpool's match against Tottenham Hotspur[1][2]. Slot described the challenge that caused the injury as "reckless"[2]. The Swedish striker is expected to miss at least another month, with a potential return date in March 2026[1][2]. Recent training images have shown Isak stepping up his rehabilitation[6], and Slot has expressed confidence that Isak will play again during the 2025-26 season[4].

Liverpool's injury crisis extends beyond these three players, with Stefan Bajcetic, Conor Bradley, Jayden Danns, and Giovanni Leoni also currently sidelined[3][4]. Manager Arne Slot has acknowledged the challenging situation, noting that the heavy fixture schedule is contributing to the injury problems[3].
