Liverpool vs West Ham final injury update as 4 ruled out and 2 doubts

West Ham are back in action on Sunday when they take on leaders Liverpool at Anfield. The Hammers head into this one still in disappointing form, with Graham Potter struggling to turn things around at the London Stadium.

The Irons drew with Bournemouth last weekend, and having struggled for wins for weeks, they will be desperate to pull off a surprise result here, with their rare wins under Potter coming against Arsenal, although that feels like a long time ago at this stage.

While Liverpool are closing in on the title, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows for them, either, losing to Fulham last weekend and missing an opportunity to edge closer to the title. Here we round up all the latest injury news surrounding Liverpool and West Ham ahead of this one.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - Out

Alexander-Arnold should be back around the end of the month, but he won’t play here. Slot has said: "His situation is that unfortunately he is injured. Otherwise people probably would have spoken about him having one or two brilliant performances for the England team. But he is injured so for him he is fully focused for his recovery and for us we are trying to help him to be back as early as he can."

Joe Gomez - Out

Gomez is out until May, with Slot having confirmed last month: "It's a big blow for Joe and for us. He works really hard to come back and then the first game when he came back after two or three minutes we saw him making a sprint and now he is out for weeks again.

"So that's always very hard for a player in every part of the season, let alone a part of the season everyone is looking forward to. He will miss large parts of the end of the season but we expect him to be back in the final phase of the season."

Alisson Becker - Fit

Alisson has passed concussion protocol, with Slot responding when asked if the Brazilian is available for this game: “Yes, he is.”

Aaron Cresswell - Out

A recent absentee, Cresswell looks as though he will miss at least a couple of weeks with a hamstring injury.

Crysencio Summerville - Doubt

Summerville has been struggling with a hamstring injury, and it would seem he will remain out, with Potter saying he expects a ‘similar’ squad, but he did not specify whether the winger will return or not.

Niclas Fullkrug - Doubt

Graham Potter has said: “Füllkrug has had a little bit of fatigue, and we're just making sure he's OK after the weekend, and he'll travel.”

Michail Antonio - Out

Antonio will be out long-term as he recovers from his car crash. He said in an interview: "I shattered my femur bone in four different places. I had one single keyhole surgery. They put a pole in my thigh with four bolts, so screws and bolts to knit it back together. My first surgeon said he didn't want me to put any weight on my leg for three months, which is around about now, and you can see that I am walking.

"We got a second specialist who said I needed to start putting weight on it, increasing from 10% up to 100% within three weeks. But I kept my crutches for a further two weeks. Overall, they say it will be between six to 12 months before my leg starts healing properly."
