Liverpool have added a new name to their injury list after Conor Bradley was ruled out for the remainder of the season, but there are hopes Hugo Ekitike will return against Barnsley.Arne Slot was dealt yet another long-term injury blow with Bradley requiring surgery after an injury to the ligaments and bone in his left knee against Arsenal.It leaves Liverpool another defender short for the meeting with the League One side on Monday evening.There is an expectation, though, that Ekitike will return to the squad after two games sidelined with a hamstring issue.Slot told reporters after the goalless draw at Arsenal that it is not “100 percent” guaranteed that he will return, but that “we will do everything to have him available.” He is the only player in line to make a comeback as Endo has yet to return to training, though that is expected to happen imminently after more than one month out with an ankle injury.Salah, meanwhile, extended his absence after scoring what proved to be the winner for Egypt to set up a semi-final clash against Sadio Mane‘s Senegal at the Africa Cup of Nations.Neither Isak nor Danns are available either. This Is Anfield understands the latter suffered a setback in his recovery and is not expected back until February.There was an expectation of mass rotation, and while several changes to the starting lineup are expected, Slot guaranteed that he will name a strong squad against Barnsley.“I can guarantee you that on Monday you will see all the players you see today (against Arsenal), maybe with some substitutions, but then they will be on the bench,” he said.Giorgi Mamardashvili, Joe Gomez, Andy Robertson, Trey Nyoni, Curtis Jones, Federico Chiesa and Rio Ngumoha will all come into contention for a start.• READ: Liverpool Predicted XI vs. Barnsley – Slot resists rest but Ngumoha finally startsLiverpool’s available squad vs. BarnsleyGoalkeepers: Alisson, Mamardashvili, WoodmanDefenders: Van Dijk, Konate, Gomez, Lucky, Frimpong, Kerkez, Robertson, RamsayMidfielders: Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Jones, Mac Allister, NyoniForwards: Wirtz, Gakpo, Ekitike*, Chiesa, Ngumoha* Doubt
