There were good and (mostly) bad injury updates as well as transfer news on Tuesday as Liverpool held their pre-Fulham press conference.

In his press conference, Pep Lijnders revealed that Trent Alexander-Arnold will be out for “probably three weeks” due to the problem.
This would mean he will miss Liverpool’s next five games and possibly return for another trip to the Emirates on February 4.

With Andy Madley named referee, Paul Tierney will act as VAR for Liverpool’s trip to Bournemouth – great news, no one ever said it. David Lynch reports for This Is Anfield that he is “much less certain than it seemed” that Mo Salah would want to move to Saudi Arabia.
