Liverpool fans are in for a tense night as manager Arne Slot confirmed that four first-team players will miss their FA Cup fifth-round clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux. The news comes just days after Wolves stunned Liverpool with a shocking 2-1 Premier League win.
Defender Conor Bradley remains sidelined with a serious knee injury, while young centre-back Giovanni Leoni continues to recover from an ACL problem. Midfielder Wataru Endo is out with an ankle issue, and striker Alexander Isak is still recovering from a broken leg he suffered in December 2025 against Tottenham Hotspur. For fans eager for all the latest team news and injury updates, check the full report at Newsvista—this is crucial information for everyone following Liverpool’s FA Cup journey.
There is, however, a glimmer of hope for Reds supporters. German attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz, who missed the last three matches with a back injury, has returned to partial training. Slot revealed, “He trained half and half yesterday with the team… Let’s see where he is today and whether he could be available for a few minutes tomorrow, in the best scenario.”
Despite the injury setbacks and a packed schedule—including Spurs on Sunday and Galatasaray midweek—Slot insisted Liverpool will field a strong line-up to keep their FA Cup hopes alive. “We are aware of the busy fixtures, but our priority is to respond strongly to Wolves,” he said.
