Like Henderson, Matip&#8217;s injuries have built up which has meant he&#8217;s only featured for just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk\/sport\/football\/football-news\/joel-matip-liverpool-injury-news-18967870\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">75 minutes in the Premier League in the last 11 months.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tsimikas played against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/?s=Lincoln\" target=\"_self\">Lincoln City<\/a> in the last round, however, in that game he picked up a thigh injury and he has not played since. He will also miss Sunday&#8217;s trip to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/aston-villa-club-news-analysis-fixtures\/\" target=\"_self\">Aston Villa<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Update on Oxlade-Chamberlain<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/38c7feef\/Alex-Oxlade-Chamberlain?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain<\/a> remains out as he continues to recover from a knee injury suffered during pre-season. He is said to be progressing well, with a return date yet to be announced.<\/p>\n<h3>Comments from Lijnders<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolfc.com\/news\/first-team\/410636-lfc-fitness-update-henderson-matip-tsimikas-and-oxlade-chamberlain\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lijnders said<\/a>: &#8220;Jordan, we will re-evaluate on Friday after this game to see if he can be ready for Aston Villa.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Joel is the same as what I said last week, he will be ready [after] the international break and use the time to prepare for the Everton game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ox is progressing well. He&#8217;s in a good way and it&#8217;s really important for him that this first phase goes smooth. But, of course, that takes a much longer time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have Kostas, who after the Lincoln game had a thigh problem. We thought it would settle, it didn&#8217;t, so he will need more time. He will not be involved on Thursday and also not on Sunday.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"v1z-YbD8TG5VXNsL8StV3w\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1273764954\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'v1z-YbD8TG5VXNsL8StV3w',sig:'K1JVEU1-OmLw-mOjIIfmzbZQdjjsFyyK-B26cmVtdW4=',w:'594px',h:'406px',items:'1273764954',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders has confirmed that Jordan Henderson will miss their Carabao Cup fixture at home to Arsenal.
