Liverpool injury news and return dates for Bournemouth: Alisson Becker latest

Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Bournemouth.

Fresh from making a winning start to their latest Champions League adventure, Liverpool welcome Bournemouth to Anfield for their latest Premier League battle on Saturday afternoon.

As they did 19 years ago, the Merseyside giants fought back to defeat AC Milan in Tuesday's European opener, as Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Dominik Szoboszlai cancelled out Christian Pulisic's opener in a 3-1 victory.

That San Siro success was the perfect response to the weekend's Premier League disappointment, where Nottingham Forest claimed a shock 1-0 Anfield win to hand Arne Slot his first competitive loss in the hotseat.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with the Cherries, who suffered an agonising 1-0 defeat to Chelsea last time out.


Alisson Becker

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: September 21 (vs. Bournemouth)

Slot revealed in his pre-game press conference that first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker was suffering from a muscular injury and is therefore a doubt for the encounter; the Brazilian reportedly did not train on Friday and should therefore let Caoimhin Kelleher guard the posts this time around.


Harvey Elliott

Status: Out
Type of injury: Foot
Possible return date: October 27 (vs. Arsenal)

Federico Chiesa finally made his Liverpool debut as a late substitute against Milan, meaning that the Reds' only absentee is Harvey Elliott, who is unlikely to be back from his foot fracture until the end of October.
