Given the intensity surrounding Liverpool\u2019s recent game with Arsenal, one might think the team was free of injuries. However, Arne Slot provided a thorough injury update ahead of the Brighton match.<\/p>\n
In his pre-match press conference, Slot said, \u201cConor [Bradley] is back training with us and might be in the squad tomorrow.<\/p>\n
[Diogo] Jota, Alisson, Harvey Elliott, and Federico [Chiesa] are all out, and I don\u2019t expect Chiesa to be available either.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Chiesa\u2019s situation, Slot explained, \u201cIt\u2019s hard to say because he\u2019s had ups and downs. Sometimes he\u2019s with us for a few days, then back out with an injury.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d rather not set a timeframe; we need to ensure he\u2019s in top shape without putting pressure on him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of the five players mentioned, only Conor Bradley is likely to return, while Alisson, Diogo Jota, and Harvey Elliott may remain sidelined until after the next international break\u2014a concerning setback.<\/p>\n
Liverpool\u2019s injury issues appear far from over. While the team has managed to cope, the squad feels the strain with fewer players available to share the load, particularly up front. Slot even joked about recalling Ben Doak, given his recent Championship form.<\/p>\n
The hope is that these challenges resolve soon, allowing for a full-strength squad as Liverpool pushes for trophies this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
