Impact Traore is still not with his club as he awaits his recovery, now eyeing a return to training next week. This continues a brutal run, last being an option for play on Dec. 14.

Impact Reinildo is hitting the sidelines for what looks like a month after a knee injury against Liverpool, missing decent time but still avoiding a major injury. The club expects him to return sometime in March, eyeing a return to face Brighton on March 14. Trai Hume is a likely replacement for Reilildo while he recovers, forcing Nordi Mukiele to start at right-back.

Granit Xhaka - Set for return Xhaka (ankle) has trained this week and is an option for Sunday's match against Fulham, according to manager Regis Le Bris. "Granit has more or less fully trained this week, so he...

Impact Xhaxa has been out for the past four games but is back to boost the squad this week, with the midfielder able to train and now an option. This is a major addition as he should start almost immediately, starting in all 22 appearances this season. He serves in more of a defensive role for the club, but still has an exceptional playmaking ability due to his experience, notching one goal and five assists this season.

Impact Alderete picked up a knock in Wednesday's game against Liverpool, and it seems the coaching staff doesn't want to risk him in a Cup game against a lower-league side. Alderete is expected to use the time off to recover ahead of the EPL clash against Fulham on Sunday, Feb. 22.

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

Robin Roefs - 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.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Brian Brobbey - 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.

Danny Ballard - 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.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Trai Hume - 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.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Omar Alderete - 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.
