Dayot Upamecano in action for FC Bayern Muenchen against PSV in the Champions League
Liverpool returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion with a 6-0 Champions League victory over Qarabag on Wednesday night. Alexis Mac Allister scored twice and there were goals for Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Mohamed Salah – his first for the club since November 1 – and Federico Chiesa in a romp at Anfield which saw them secure third place in the table and avoid the play-off round.
However, the night started on a sour note when Jeremie Frimpong was forced off inside the opening five minutes with what looked like a muscle injury. Arne Slot was already down to one recognised centre-back and just three senior players on the bench and he had to deploy central midfielder Wataru Endo at full-back for the remainder of the game.
Liverpool have been one of the least active clubs in the January transfer window so far, and it now remains to be seen whether the club’s plans for the rest of the window will change as a result of recent injuries.
On the transfer front, Liverpool are once again being linked with a move for Dayot Upamecano. While the Reds are also being linked with Tromso midfielder Jens Hjerto-Dahl.
Jeremy Jacquet is someone who is reportedly under consideration, but he continues to be linked with a move to Chelsea in the coming days. Now, though, it is being claimed in Germany that Bayern Munich are monitoring his situation.
