Liverpool manager Arne Slot is facing a significant injury crisis, with at least five players likely to miss Sunday's Premier League match against Arsenal. The Reds' injury woes have worsened, with forward Diogo Jota joining the growing list of absentees.
Injury List Grows
Jota was forced off the field after just 30 minutes in Liverpool's 2-1 win over Chelsea due to a knock. Right-back Conor Bradley also missed the game due to injury. The club is already without:
- Goalkeeper Alisson Becker
- Forward Federico Chiesa
- Midfielder Harvey Elliott
None of these players traveled to Germany for Wednesday's Champions League match against RB Leipzig.
Race Against Time for Recovery
Slot expressed concern about the injuries, stating, "Conor Bradley, Harvey Elliott, Federico Chiesa, and Alisson didn't make the trip, so we have a few issues at the moment." The manager revealed that Jota's injury occurred when another player fell on him after a tackle.
Sunday's Arsenal Match in Doubt
With these key players sidelined, Liverpool's chances against Arsenal on Sunday are uncertain. The Reds will need their injured stars to recover quickly to bolster their squad for the crucial Premier League clash.
