The Reds are currently navigating a difficult period with several key personnel unavailable, including a complicated situation in goal following Giorgi Mamardashvili’s knee injury against Everton. Slot also touched upon Alisson Becker’s recurring muscle issues, attributing the rise in such injuries to the modern footballing calendar.
Discussing the availability of his goalkeepers and the impact of the current fixture schedule on player health, Slot added: "Giorgi will definitely not be available and for the upcoming week. Ali is close to a return of play, let's see if tomorrow comes too early yes or no. That leaves Freddie [Woodman] as an option."
