Liverpool injury update: Joe Gomez, Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley latest news and return dates

Liverpool head into 2025 top of the Premier League table. Arne Slot’s side continued what is increasingly looking like a march to the title by thrashing West Ham 5-0 on Sunday. The Reds now sit eight points clear of second-placed Nottingham Forest, while also boasting a game in hand.
Such has been the level of their form, the only thing that looks likely to throw Liverpool off their course are potential injuries to key players. Slot has had to deal with notable absentees pretty much all season to date but can surely ill-afford to lose the likes of Virgil van Dijk or Mohamed Salah.
With that in mind, here’s a look at the latest Liverpool injuries. Sunday’s win over West Ham may have come at a slight cost. Joe Gomez – who was already standing in for the injured Ibrahima Konate – came off at the London Stadium with what looked like a hamstring problem.
Speaking after the game, Slot said: “You saw today an injury of Joe Gomez. If a player says he wants to stop, he has to be changed. “In a sprint, then we all know it’s a hamstring and we all know it’s going take a while before he is back. I don’t know how long but he will be out for quite a bit.”.
Potential return date: Unknown. Konate has not played since the Champions League win over Real Madrid in November. Still, Slot did suggest that perhaps the Frenchman could return for the visit of Manchester United next week. "They [Konate and Conor Bradley] will not be back for West Ham United, but then there is a week in between [before the game against Manchester United] so let's see how close they are then.
