Liverpool have picked up a fair few injuries so far this Premier League season and there are some key players who will most likely be missing for the upcoming Merseyside derby against Everton.

Liverpool will want to get back to winning ways following a 2-2 draw with Brighton just before the international break. The fixtures start to pile up now, with the club facing Toulouse in Europe after Everton and then Nottingham Forest. It looks like some injured players will not return to action until November.

Liverpool injury update

Manager Jurgen Klopp will not be happy as Liverpool picked up injuries over the international break and now he will have to work with fewer numbers.

Liverpool will want to make sure they qualify for the Champions League this season after a poor campaign last season saw them miss out. In order to make sure they are battling right at the top, they need a full squad, especially with them also competing in the Europa League.

Here are the latest injury updates on the Liverpool squad:

Liverpool signing Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich was a transfer that was met with a lot of excitement. Sadly, fans have not seen as much of him as they would have wanted due to injuries. Currently, the Spaniard is sidelined due to a groin injury. He was due to be back by now but he has now had two injury setbacks that saw him not able to train. The next couple of fixtures come too soon for the midfielder.
