Liverpool secured a convincing 4-1 win against Brentford, but their celebrations are tempered by injuries to key players Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota. The full extent of their injuries is still unknown, leaving a shadow over the hard-fought victory. 
Klopp faces a mounting crisis as two more players, Jones and Jota, join the ever-growing injury list. Szoboszlai, Alexander-Arnold, Becker, and Thiago are already out, and now Nunez’s halftime exit adds to the uncertainty surrounding the team’s depth.
Diogo Jota
Fears mount for Jota after he left the Brentford match with a knee injury. Klopp expresses concern, calling it the “worst-looking” injury.
While reports suggest a two-month absence and a missed League Cup final, official confirmation is awaited, leaving questions swirling around Jota’s return
Curtis Jones
“Curtis got a knock on the lower part of his shin, above the ankle,” said Klopp on February 17.
“We will see what that means. It’s what he felt but he wasn’t 100% sure. That Curtis cannot play on tells you it must be something because he would have played on at all costs actually.
“Yeah (he’s on crutches), but that’s normal. I’ve not spoken to him, I don’t have time. I get carried around the stadium for interviews!
Expected return date: Unknown
Darwin Nunez
Nunez scored Liverpool’s opening goal against Brentford but was substituted at half-time in place of Cody Gakpo.
“Darwin, we took off because he said he feels something a little,” said Klopp on February 17. “Today that was enough to immediately push the brake and that’s what we did.
“We took him off, brought on Cody and that worked really well. That’s not great. We can talk about that part of the game, that’s really not good but we cannot change that anymore.”
Expected return date: Unknown.
Trent Alexander-Arnold
Alexander-Arnold’s return timeline unclear after knee injury; early March target set but could miss more games.
The Reds vice-captain now faces a spell on the sidelines and has already been ruled out of Liverpool’s Carabao Cup final against Chelsea next Sunday.
Alisson Becker
This extends his absence to two matches, as he also missed last week’s Burnley win due to illness.
“Ali was ill last week and injured this week,” said Klopp on February 17. “No other ideas behind it (starting Caoimhin Kelleher). If he hadn’t been ill and hadn’t been injured now, Ali would have played.
“We will see how long Ali is out but Caoimhin is exceptional and today it was an A+ performance.”
Expected return date: Unknown
Dominik Szoboszlai
Szoboszlai’s hamstring woes return, forcing him to miss crucial matches despite a brief comeback effort. His participation in the Carabao Cup final remains uncertain.
Thiago Alcantara
Thiago suffered a hamstring injury during his cameo appearance against Arsenal on February 4. The midfielder had not played for the Reds for nine months before his substitute appearance at the Emirates Stadium.
No timeframe has been placed on when Liverpool expect Thiago to return. Klopp has previously admitted that he is hopeful that the midfielder will return to the matchday squad before the end of the season.
Expected return date: Unknown.
Stefan Bajcetic
Bajcetic’s promising start at Liverpool stalls again as a calf injury follows his previous adductor problem. The young player’s return to full training and action remains frustratingly unclear.
Expected return date: Unknown.
Joel Matip
Liverpool’s central defender Joel Matip faces a lengthy absence after undergoing surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) sustained in the dramatic win over Fulham. This significant injury, coupled with his expiring contract, likely spells the end of his season with the Reds.
Expected return date: Unknown.
