LIVERPOOL

Slot started his press conference by offering the latest on Hugo Ekitike, who sat out Gameweek 20.

While he’s not carrying a serious muscle injury, there’s some lingering doubt about his availability for Thursday’s clash with Arsenal.

“He’s not trained with us till now. Let’s see if he can today. I’ve said, I think, two or three days ago when we played Fulham, that he’s not going to be out for long but because games come so fast, he’s in between maybe training with the team or taking one or two days extra.” – Arne Slot on Hugo Ekitike

Alexander Isak (ankle) and Giovanni Leoni (ACL) are medium-to-long-term absentees, while Mohamed Salah is still on international duty.
