In midfield, Wataru Endo is sidelined with an ankle problem and has already undergone surgery, with the Japan national team’s head coach confirming the procedure is part of a plan to have him ready for the 2026 World Cup rather than the run‑in with Liverpool. Up front, Alexander Isak remains another long-term absentee after surgery on an ankle issue that also involved a fibula fracture, with Slot admitting the striker is still in the early stages of his recovery and not expected back until late March or the beginning of April.

Against that backdrop, the news from France about one of Liverpool’s big summer investments has landed with an extra jolt of anxiety. Jeremy Jacquet picked up a shoulder injury at the beginning of February and has since undergone surgery to rectify the issue.
