Liverpool injury update: Conor Bradley, Hugo Ekitike and Curtis Jones latest news and return dates

Liverpool go into the new Premier League season with a number of injury concerns.

Andoni Iraola has now taken over the reins from Arne Slot at Anfield, but has not been afforded the summer additions that he might have liked ahead of the upcoming campaign.

As such, the Reds look a bit light in certain areas on the pitch, and injuries do not help their cause.

They came through Como 2-0 in their final pre-season friendly on Sunday, as Iraola plumped for what should be his opening-day first XI.

Jeremy Jacquet made a goalscoring start to his Reds career, netting on his debut after recovering from the serious shoulder injury that hampered his final season at Rennes before a £60million move.

That was his first appearance in his new colours having not featured at all during pre-season, with Iraola managing his minutes.

With that said, here is all the latest Liverpool injury news and potential return dates...

Right-back Bradley has been sidelined since January with a serious knee injury that he suffered against Arsenal.

It curtailed his campaign having had to undergo surgery. His comeback still looks a long way off, as he has not featured at all in any friendly so far, and Jeremie Frimpong and Calvin Ramsay both played at right-back against Como.

French striker Ekitike started life on Merseyside with a bang, netting 11 goals in 28 Premier League games and three in the Champions League.

However, he ruptured his Achilles in April, and he has not played since.

When asked about his long-term absentees, Iraola ranked Ekitike last in who he thought would come back soonest, saying that it would still be “months” before the forward could return to the first-team fold.

Midfielder Jones was a curious absentee in the friendlies against Como.

It was reported that he had been nursing a hip injury, but the rumour mill keeps spinning and linking him with a move to Inter Milan.
