In the 12th round of the Premier League, Liverpool will face Nottingham Forest. Before the game, the British media "Liverpool Echo" reported Liverpool's injury situation.

Alisson

Alisson was sidelined due to a hamstring injury suffered in the 0-1 away loss to Galatasaray in the Champions League on September 30.

Alisson was originally expected to be sidelined for up to six weeks. But Slaughter said before facing Manchester City: "Alisson will definitely be able to (return to the team). I also expect Frimpong to return after the international break, because we have a dense schedule from November to March! But I don't think Frimpong can fully recover from injury and play against Nottingham Forest. But for Alisson, we expect that he can."

Potential comeback date: November 22, home game against Nottingham Forest

Frimpong

Frimpong, who joined from Bayer Leverkusen this summer, has been on a truce since he was forced to come off due to a thigh injury early in the 5-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on October 23. Judging from Slott's remarks, Frimpong is not ready for the showdown with Nottingham Forest.

However, Frimpong recently posted a message on Snapchat: "We are training hard and striving to return as soon as possible."

Potential comeback date: early December

Isak

Isak was injured in the game against Frankfurt and has not played for Liverpool since. But Isaac returned to the Reds' lineup against Manchester City and should be available against Nottingham Forest. Although he did not appear that day, he later played more than 30 minutes in Sweden's 4-1 loss to Switzerland.

However, in the Swedish team's 1-1 home draw with Slovenia on Tuesday, Isaac did not get a chance to play. Sloter is expected to be asked about an update on Isaac's health during a potential pregame press conference on Friday.
