Here’s the latest Liverpool injury update ahead of their Premier League trip to Tottenham Hotspur (match scheduled for Saturday, 20 December 2025):
🔴 Confirmed Absentees / Injuries
• Joe Gomez – Ruled out of the Tottenham clash with a hamstring muscle injury suffered against Brighton; scans show it’s not too serious but Liverpool are being cautious.
• Mohamed Salah – Unavailable — the forward has left to join Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and will miss the Spurs game.
• Cody Gakpo – Still out with a muscle problem and expected to miss several weeks.
• Wataru Endo – Sidelined with an ankle injury since early December; still weeks away from a return.
• Giovanni Leoni – Long-term ACL injury, out for the season.
🤕 Doubtful / Late Fitness Tests
• Dominik Szoboszlai – Picked up an ankle knock vs Brighton and is a doubt for Spurs; Liverpool are cautiously optimistic and a final decision is expected close to kick-off. Some updates suggest he could be available.
• Jeremie Frimpong – Nearing a return from a hamstring issue; could be back in training soon and might make the squad.
🔄 Suspension / Availability Notes
• Conor Bradley – Returns from suspension and should be available to start in defense.

🧠 Impact on Liverpool
Liverpool’s defensive depth is stretched without Gomez, meaning Bradley is likely to start, with Frimpong pushing to return.
Salah’s AFCON departure means Liverpool will lean more on players like Hugo Ekitike, Federico Chiesa, and others in attack.
Szoboszlai’s fitness will be key to midfield creativity; his status might be decided late Friday.
If you’d like, I can also share Tottenham’s injury situation ahead of this match.
Take a look at Liverpool’s preparations for their trip to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
The Reds head to the capital on Saturday for a 5.30pm GMT showdown with Thomas Frank’s Spurs.
Arne Slot’s men completed a session on the eve of the game at the AXA Training Centre, and our photographers were there to capture it.
We make the trip up to Everton on Saturday, looking for a victory that would ensure we remain top of the Premier League for Christmas, and you can watch the best of our preparations with the latest edition of Inside Training.
Our 2-1 win over Wolves maintained our unbeaten run at Emirates Stadium this season, and we’ll be looking to follow last weekend’s result up with another win in what will be our very first trip to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
