Liverpool Face Injury Setbacks Ahead of Chelsea Showdown
Liverpool head into today’s clash with Chelsea missing four crucial players, as manager Arne Slot confirmed squad concerns ahead of kickoff. Despite having already secured the Premier League title, Slot warned that the match will be no walk in the park.
“We’ve got four important players out, and even though we’ve won the league, we’re not planning to take it easy. It’s going to be tough, but we’ll give it our all,” Slot said.
Among those ruled out is star goalkeeper Alisson, sidelined with a hamstring injury, while midfielder Alexis Mac Allister is being monitored after missing one of Argentina’s recent internationals. Kostas Tsimikas and Wataru Endo are also doubts due to fitness and illness issues.
Slot acknowledged Chelsea’s strong form under Enzo Maresca but remained confident in the depth of his squad: “This is a chance for others to step up and prove themselves.”
Fans are feeling uneasy about the match given the absences, with one supporter writing, “This one’s going to be rough—we’re already in trouble.”
Kickoff is scheduled for 16:30 BST at Stamford bridge.
