The international break has arrived at a slightly awkward time for Liverpool, with Arne Slot already dealing with a lengthy injury list at Kirkby.
Nine players have been forced to stay behind: Alisson, Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo, Mohamed Salah, Giovanni Leoni, Jayden Danns, Stefan Bajcetic, Alexander Isak and Federico Chiesa. That’s a long list that only adds to the frustration after a demanding stretch of games.
Chiesa will miss a World Cup play-off which is sure to sting.
Just how bad do you want Arne Slot gone?
