Kostas Tsimikas, Alexis Mac Allister, Luis Diaz - Liverpool injury news and return dates
The injury issues continue to mount for Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp.
Saturday's 1-1 draw at Anfield with Arsenal saw Kostas Tsimikas and Luis Diaz both withdrawn through injury, placing even further pressure on an already strained squad.
Tsimikas' setback has ensured both of Liverpool's senior left-backs are now sidelined, with Andy Robertson yet to recover from his shoulder issue. Diaz looked to have aggravated a past problem with his knee, though it remains unclear at this stage whether the Colombian will be forced to endure a period of the team as a result.
Below is a round-up of those currently unavailable to Klopp, with nine players currently on the treatment table.

Kostas Tsimikas
The Greek defender suffered a nasty collision following a challenge from Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka, which saw Tsimikas land awkwardly on his shoulder.
He clattered into Klopp on the touchline after being brought to ground by Saka and immediately appeared in serious pain.
Speaking after Saturday's 1-1 draw, the Liverpool boss confirmed it was not good news on Tsimikas. Klopp said: "He [Tsimikas] broke his collarbone at least. That's really bad for us."
Expected return date: Unknown
Luis Diaz
Diaz, also injured against Arsenal, will hope the discomfort felt in his knee is not a long-term issue.
The Colombian spent several months sidelined last season after suffering a knee injury in a 3-2 defeat against the Gunners in October 2022.
Feeling something in the same part of his body on Saturday, the former Porto winger was withdrawn as a precaution.
