Reds continued fine start to the season with win over Wolves
Liverpool’s fine start to the season continued over the course of the weekend.
Arne Slot’s side went top of the Premier League table with a 2-1 win at Wolves as the Reds continue to adapt well to life under new management.
While there is still a lot of football to play, things could not have gone much better for Slot in the opening few months of his tenure.
A surprise defeat to Nottingham Forest at home is the only disappointment thus far, though the fixtures will soon pile up thick and fast.
Liverpool host Bologna in the Champions League this week before traveling to Crystal Palace in Saturday’s early League kick-off.
With that in mind, here’s a look at the latest Liverpool injuries…
Andy Robertson came off towards the end over the win over Wolves but Slot does not believe the issue is serious.
“I don't expect this to be a big problem, although you never know, but I think he just got a knock," said the Reds boss.
"End phase of the game, maybe he was a bit tired as well because the guy who came in - Forbs, I knew him, of course, from the Dutch competition - he made it a real fight for him.
"He got a bit of a knock but I'm expecting him to be in training on Monday again, but let's wait [and see]."
Potential return date: October 2024
Darwin Nunez missed the win over Wolves due to illness. Slot will provide an update on the striker later this week.

Harvey Elliott sustained a fractured foot while playing for the England U21s earlier this month and is expected back in action at some point this month.
“Harvey is of course a big disappointment for him but not only for him, also for us because OK, he didn’t play that much in the first three games but he played a lot in pre-season and he showed himself really well so, of course, if he had stayed fit he would have had a lot of playing time in the upcoming fixtures,” said the Liverpool boss earlier this month.
