It is a huge blow.
Arne Slot has confirmed that two huge Liverpool stars will miss this weekend’s blockbuster clash versus Arsenal.
Ahead of the match, the Reds sit at the top of the table, one point ahead of Manchester City and four ahead of their Sunday opposition.
Winning seven out of eight league matches, it has been a near-perfect start to life on Merseyside for the new gaffer.
Including all competitions, Slot became the first new manager to win as many as 11 out of 12 games in English football, a remarkable record set.
However, he has been dealt with a fresh blow ahead of a crucial clash on Sunday, which he has confirmed before the match.
Speaking on team news, he got straight to the point:
“I think they [Conor Bradley, Diogo Jota, Harvey Elliott, Alisson and Federico Chiesa], feel good, but not for the weekend.
“Chiesa might train today, Diogo not, Conor, let’s see if he can be with us tomorrow.”
The Gunners will be without William Saliba following his red card at Bournemouth.
A huge, huge player for Mikel Arteta’s men, he will be a huge miss for the team.
