Liverpool are hoping to welcome Dominik Szoboszlai back when their winter break comes to an end.

Bournemouth face the Reds on the south coast this Sunday after a much-needed period of rest for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

During the break, Szoboszlai has provided an update on his fitness as he recovers from a hamstring complaint.

But Trent Alexander-Arnold will have to be patient in his recovery from a knee injury, along with longer-term absentees such as Andrew Robertson, Kostas Tsimikas and Thiago Alcantara.

Here is your latest update of Liverpool injuries and return dates…

Dominik Szoboszlai

Hungarian midfielder Szoboszlai has sat out two games with a hamstring injury and Klopp admitted earlier this month that he was unsure when he would be fit to return.

It appears that he is still yet to take part in full training yet he should drop back into contention during Liverpool’s spate of games after the winter break.

Speaking at an awards ceremony back home, Szoboszlai said it is “possible” he plays against Bournemouth but explained that he would be happy to be patient if medical staff erred on the side of caution.

Potential return date: Mid to late February 2024

Klopp has been keen to play down reports of Robertson returning to action this month.

Liverpool are yet to involve the Scottish defender in full training following a shoulder injury which required surgery in October.
