Injury Concerns for Liverpool
The disheartening 1-0 loss against Galatasaray has raised more issues for Arne Slot beyond just the scoreline.
Both Alisson and Hugo Ekitike were forced to leave the match due to injuries, prompting a troubling update from the coach.
The goalkeeper is expected to be unavailable for the upcoming Premier League clash with Chelsea on Saturday, with Giorgi Mamardashvili ready to step in.
Slot commented: “It’s never a positive sign when a player needs to leave the pitch like that.”
“Whenever one of my players is down, I typically prepare for the worst.”
“By ‘worst,’ I refer to the fact that they cannot continue, which is the situation with Alisson.”
“It’s highly unlikely he’ll be fit for Saturday, I’d say that’s 99.9 percent certain.”
“I’ve said 100 percent before, but I’ll modify that to 99.9.”
On Ekitike’s condition, Slot mentioned: “He indicated he couldn’t continue, so we had to bring him off. We’ll assess his status by the weekend.”
