Injury Update Ahead of West Ham

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot spoke to the press ahead of his side's trip to West Ham United on Sunday, and provided an update on injury concerns.
Per Slot, the weekend trip to London comes too soon for the likes of Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konaté, both defenders injured late (and certainly petulantly in Konaté's case) in the demolition of Real Madrid.
Neither defender has rejoined team training at this point, as their injury absences stretch to a month's time.
Slot is hopeful that the uncharacteristically friendly gap in matches between West Ham and the match against Manchester United at home a week later might allow time for one or both to return to fitness. Slot suggested that the pair's team training return will be measured in days more than any longer unit of absence, though — as is common practice — did not put a firm number on the timeline of return.
Diogo Jota's fitness is still being managed after his own return from injury, and he will likely remain featuring from the bench. Kostas Tsimikas, too, has recently come back into fitness, and may well provide some rest for Andy Robertson.
