Freddie Woodman has started the Redsâ last two matches in the injury-enforced absences of Alisson Becker and Giorgi Mamardashvili, although Arne Slot said in his pre-match press conference on Friday that the Georgian was set to train with the squad later in the day.
Our number 1 will miss out for the visit of the Blues, but it now looks increasingly likely that his immediate understudy could be clared to play against Calum McFarlaneâs side.
Romano took to X at 7am on Saturday morning with an injury update whichâll make for welcome reading for Liverpool supporters.

We wonât know until shortly after 11am whether or not the 25-year-old has won his race against time to be fit for todayâs clash, but Romanoâs update suggests that thereâs a strong chance weâll see his name on the teamsheet.
Considering the extent of Liverpoolâs injury troubles at present, itâd certainly be a welcome return for Mamardashvili if he makes it in time to face Chelsea, who go to Anfield off the back of six straight league defeats.
It might be a situation where the Georgian isnât quite 100% to start and is held in reserve on the bench, in which case Woodman would be set to start a third consecutive game. Judging by his excellent performance against Crystal Palace a fortnight ago, nobody will be complaining if heâs in the team again today.
Our goalkeeping options are in line for a further boost in the coming days, with Slot indicating on Friday that Alisson is âvery closeâ to a return to training, raising hopes of him being back for the visit to Aston Villa next weekend.
Itâd be great to see Mamardashvili back in the line-up today if heâs passed fit. If the 25-year-old doesnât quite make it, we have every faith in Woodman to stand up to whatever Chelsea throw at him.
