Ekitike (back) is uncertain to play Sunday against West Ham United, manager Arne Slot told media during Thursday's press conference. "They don't expect that it has to be a big issue, but the games come fast so let's see for the weekend. But it shouldn't have to be a big issue."

Alisson (illness) is expected to be available for Sunday's game against West Ham United, manager Arne Slot told media during Thursday's press conference. "Ali trained again with the team today, so we hope and expect him to be available at the weekend."

Wirtz (strain) could return to training Saturday, manager Arne Slot told media during Thursday's press conference. "Florian will have his final day of rehab tomorrow. So, if that all goes well, he could train with the team on Saturday."

Ekitike contributed a season high four shots in the Champions League before being forced off in the 61st minute of Wednesdays 4-1 defeat against PSV due to a back issue, coach Arne Slot said in a press conference, according to the Liverpool Echo. "It felt as if he couldn't move as he did [in] the first half. So, that's why our press was, I think, also a little bit off. And he just told me that in the first five to 10 minutes of the first half he already felt his back too much. That's also why he had to go out."

Ekitike was forced off with an apparent hamstring injury during Wednesday's clash with PSV.

Alisson (illness) is out for Wednesday's clash with PSV, Liverpool announced.
