Liverpool injury news and return dates for West Ham with three players ruled out

Liverpool are waiting on a positive update from Brazil forward Roberto Firmino as they weigh up their injury situation for the midweek showdown against West Ham.

Having revived their European ambitions with two straight victories, the Reds continue their campaign when heading to the London Stadium on Wednesday night (7.45pm). As things stand, manager Jurgen Klopp will be without Firmino and two younger players for that Premier League match.

Out-on-loan midfielder Tyler Morton has also broken a metatarsal at Blackburn Rovers as his season draws to an early conclusion. Here's our round-up from the treatment table;

Stefan Bajcetic

Injury: Abductor

Return date: Next season

What Bajcetic has said: "Unfortunately, I've picked up an injury that will keep me out until the end of the season. It's sad to say goodbye to this amazing season for me, but I understand this part of football and [it] will only make me stronger physically and mentally."

Tyler Morton

Injury: Foot (during loan spell at Blackburn)

Return date: Next season

What Morton has said: "I'm devastated I have broken my fifth metatarsal and it will finish my season early, but on a positive note my surgery went well and I'm on the road to recovery already."

Roberto Firmino

Injury: Groin

Return date: TBC

What Klopp has said: "Unfortunately, Bobby has picked up a muscle issue. We will see how long that takes, it's not too serious but definitely out [against Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon]. Next week we have two more games, I would say they are impossible as well then we'll see. We'll take it day by day."

Calvin Ramsey

Injury: Knee

Return date: Next season

Calvin Ramsay will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing knee surgery. Ramsey, 18, made two appearances for the Reds this season. He was initially on the road to recovery from injury and played for the Under-21s, but suffered a setback which required him to go under the knife. It has already been confirmed the Scotland full-back will not return until next season.
