Liverpool player ratings vs Sunderland: Virgil van Dijk leads from the front to return Reds to winning ways as Ibrahima Konate and Florian Wirtz excel

Two saves in loss Roefs had two saves and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 1-0 loss versus Liverpool.

Impact Roefs was under pressure throughout Wednesday's loss, but actually only faced three shots on his goal. The goalkeeper spent most of the match watching his defense block shot after shot as Liverpool poured on the attacking threat. Roefs nearly salvaged the draw but a Virgil van Dijk header from a corner proved to be unstoppable.

Held quiet Brobbey registered one shot (zero on goal) in Wednesday's 1-0 loss against Liverpool.

Impact Brobbey took a single shot during Wednesday's clash and it wasn't a particularly threatening one. The forward was limited in his chances on the ball and when he did get the ball he had little space to work. Brobbey should have a bit more time and space against some easier opponents in the coming weeks.

Creates chance Ballard registered one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 1-0 defeat against Liverpool.

Impact Ballard created a rare chance during Wednesday's loss, as well as taking a shot. The defender isn't normally involved going forward in any capacity, and for the most part he was a stalwart defensively Wednesday. He blocked plenty of shots and shut down numerous dangerous Liverpool chances.

Three shots in loss Hume registered three shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 1-0 loss against Liverpool.

Impact Hume was desperate for his first Premier League goal Wednesday, he peppered the Liverpool backline with shots, but he couldn't do much. In the end none of his shots were on goal and his one corner came up lacking. Hume will continue to search for that first Premier League goal in some easier matches moving forward.

Picks up knock midweek Alderete left Wednesday's clash against Liverpool after dealing with apparent discomfort in the final minutes.

Impact Alderete is now doubtful for future matchups, as the severity of his issue remains unknown. The center-back, who has started 13 of his team's last 14 games, would be a significant absence if a serious injury is confirmed at some point. Lutsharel Geertruida took his place against Liverpool and could be an option to fill in.

Still needing more time Traore (knee) is set to miss around another three weeks of action as he recovers, according to Phil Smith of the Sunderland Echo. "So it's always symptom-driven, but they are both...

Impact Traore will not be with the team for another few weeks, as he is now likely to be out until the end of the month due to his knee injury. This comes after he was unable to feature after AFCON due to injury, last playing for his club Dec. 14. With nine starts in 10 appearances to begin the season, he is a starter when fit, looking to return to that spot and add to his one goal once he is an option again.

Two to three weeks away Xhaka (ankle) is still two to three weeks away from making his return, coach Regis Le Bris told the media, according to the Sunderland Echo. "We don't know yet on Granit. Probably...

Impact Xhaka remains in the rehab phase after suffering an ankle injury after the game against Crystal Palace, an issue that has sidelined him for the last three Premier League matches. Sunderland's captain is still estimated to be two to three weeks away from a return, though that timeline could shift based on how he responds physically. He is a locked-in starter when healthy, therefore his absence has forced a midfield reshuffle, with Enzo Le Fee dropping into a deeper role to help stabilize the center of the pitch while he remains out.

Dealing with discomfort Sadiki (muscular) was forced off in the 71st minute of Saturday's 3-0 loss against Arsenal after experiencing some discomfort, but he did not suffer any injury, coach Regis Le Bris...

Impact Sadiki was forced off in the 71st minute of Saturday's loss to the Gunners after feeling some muscular tightness, but he avoided any real injury and is expected to be available going forward for the Black Cats. With the match already out of reach, the change appeared to be purely precautionary rather than performance or injury related. That said, if Sadiki were to miss a match, Lutsharel Geertruida would be the logical fill-in, as Granit Xhaka (ankle) remains sidelined with an injury and is still two to three weeks away from returning.

Impact Xhaka is still going to need further time on his return from injury and is out for this week's matches, not an option to face Liverpool or Oxford United. This extends his streak to five games missed, as he will now also be doubtful for the game against Fulham on Feb. 22. He is one of the most critical players to the squad when fit, so his return is a crucial focus for the club.
