Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Liverpool will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they face Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield on Saturday.

The Reds have won only two of their opening six league games so far this season, although they have not played a league fixture since the 0-0 draw against Everton in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park on September 3, due to a combination of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and the recent international break.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Brighton, who are four points ahead of Jurgen Klopp's side heading into the weekend.


Andrew Robertson

Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: October 9 (vs. Arsenal)

Andrew Robertson suffered a knee injury during the 4-1 defeat to Napoli in the Champions League, with the Scotland left-back pictured wearing a brace upon his return.

Klopp revealed that Robertson will be back "after the international break," but he is unlikely to be rushed back into things, especially with Kostas Tsimikas proving to be an able deputy.


Ibrahima Konate

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: October 1 (vs. Brighton)

Ibrahima Konate has not featured in a competitive match for Liverpool this season after injuring his knee in the club's final pre-season friendly, but the central defender could return to the matchday squad on Saturday.

The 23-year-old has returned to training, but he may be eased into action, with the Champions League match against Rangers in midweek potentially providing a more realistic return for him.


Naby Keita

Status: Out
Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: Unknown

Naby Keita was left out of Liverpool's Champions League squad after injuring his thigh days before the end of the summer transfer window, leading to them signing Arthur on loan from Juventus.

The Guinea midfielder is therefore unlikely to return long before the World Cup begins in mid-November.


Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: Unknown

Like Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was also a notable omission from the Reds' European squad, making it doubtful whether he will play for them before the World Cup starts.

The 29-year-old suffered a serious hamstring injury in pre-season.


Curtis Jones

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Calf
Possible return date: October 4 (vs. Rangers)

After injuring his calf during the Community Shield against Manchester City, Curtis Jones has not since featured for Liverpool.

The midfielder recently took to Instagram that he expects to be "back soon," though, making it possible that he will receive some minutes against Rangers in midweek.


Caoimhin Kelleher

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Groin
Possible return date: October 1 (vs. Brighton)

Last season's EFL Cup hero Caoimhin Kelleher could return to Liverpool's matchday squad on Saturday, having been absent so far this season due to a groin injury.


Calvin Ramsay

Status: Out
Type of injury: Back
Possible return date: October 9 (vs. Arsenal)

Calvin Ramsay is yet to make his competitive debut for the Reds following his move from Aberdeen during the summer, but the right-back has returned to outside training and should be available soon.


Kaide Gordon

Status: Out
Type of injury: Pelvis
Possible return date: Unknown

Youngster Kaide Gordon, who regularly featured during Liverpool's EFL Cup-winning run last season, remains out with the pelvis injury that has kept him sidelined since February.


LIVERPOOL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Liverpool have no suspensions for Saturday's match against Brighton.
