Liverpool faces injury challenges ahead of Southampton match

Liverpool will be without at least four players for their match against Southampton on Sunday. Alisson Becker and Trent Alexander-Arnold are confirmed to miss the game due to injuries. Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa are also sidelined. Harvey Elliott has returned to team training after a foot injury and could be included in the squad. Virgil van Dijk is fit to play after returning from international duty. However, Liverpool's injury concerns may affect their upcoming matches against Real Madrid and Manchester City. Manager Arne Slot noted that Elliott's inclusion would require omitting one senior player from the matchday squad. The team is managing injuries carefully as they prepare for the busy schedule ahead.
