Salah, Chiesa, Jota – Liverpool news and return dates for Arsenal after Champions League Arsenal injury news as Liverpool to be without a key set of players for crucial Premier League title meeting FULL LIST HERE 👇
Mo Salah
Injury: N/A.
Salah was taken off against Leipzig with just over an hour played, replaced by Luis Diaz. With the game still in the balance, it raised concerns over his fitness.
What Slot said: “It is a tough fixture list. Curtis Jones was the same, he hasn’t played 90 minutes yet. We have some injuries now so I have to take care of the players. Sunday is a big game coming up and I need to use as many players as I can for these tough months.”
Diogo Jota
Injury: Chest.
Jota was taken off against Chelsea after just half an hour and didn’t make the match against Leipzig. He has suffered a host of injury issues in recent seasons.
What Slot said: “We all saw Diogo get a knock when he was trying to go towards goal and was brought down, that was not the biggest problem, but the other player fell on to him and that hurt so much that he couldn’t he couldn’t carry on and come with us now.
“It is difficult to judge at this moment of time to see how long it is going to take. Ribs? He felt somewhere over here, it is bruised I think, so we’ll have to see how long it is going to take.”
Federico Chiesa
Injury: Unknown.
The summer signing is struggling to adapt to new demands in England and is yet to hit full flow since arriving. He has a plagued injury record throughout his career.
What Slot said: “With Federico it’s a bit more simple, although it is difficult, it is a bit more simple to explain. He missed pre-season, I said this many times, and going to a league that is a higher intensity than Serie A, we just faced two Italian teams so I can say this now.
“That makes it difficult for him to make the step towards the intensity levels to where the rest of the team is at the moment. It has not so much to do with the Italian league or the Premier League but so much to do with him missing the entire pre-season.
“So it is difficult for every player, when the games are constantly there, to build up players to the levels we are at. It’s difficult to say but it is a big disappointment that he is going in and out of the training sessions all the time.
“So I feel sorry for him but he signed a long-term contract, so we will see what he brings for us. At the moment, unfortunately for us he has been in the team selection one or two times and no more than that.”
Harvey Elliot
Injury: Foot.
Elliot has returned to individual training after a period out. He was unavailable against Leipzig, though, and didn’t travel. He is a big doubt for the game at the Emirates Stadium.
What Slot said: “Harvey Elliott didn’t make it….so that means we have a few issues at the moment.”
Alisson Becker
Injury: Thigh.
The Reds’ goalkeeper has been ruled out for a while following an injury picked up against Crystal Palace before the international break. He is unlikely to return before the November internationals.
What Slot said: “Alisson is for sure not with us in the upcoming weeks, that’s clear. So, that’s a blow for him and for us because I think he did really well this season and did so well for this club for so many years.”
