LIVERPOOL
Finally, his press conference started with the latest news Hugo Ekitikewho sat out Gameweek 20.
Although he does not have a serious muscle injury, there are some doubts about his availability for Thursday’s match against Arsenal.
“He hasn’t trained with us so far. Let’s see if he can do that today. I said, I think two or three days ago when we played against Fulham, that he won’t be out for long, but because games come so quickly, he might train with the team in between, otherwise it would cost him an extra day or two.” – Arne Slot about Hugo Ekitike
Alexander Isaac (single) and Giovanni Leoni (ACL) are absent in the medium to long term, while Mohammed Salah is still in international service.
Wataru Endo (ankle) was sidelined for the past month.
Away from injuries, Slot sidestepped questions about the possibility of a renewed move Marc Guehiwith whom Liverpool were previously closely linked, and to whom he returns early on Harvey Elliottwho Aston Villa has loaned out and has hardly used due to the obligation to buy clause that would come into effect after ten appearances.
“My answer is always the same: we don’t talk about players who are not ours.” – Arne Slot, when asked about Marc Guehi
