“Injury-wise, he was asking for a substitution, not because he thought he had scored enough but that he felt something, so let’s see where he is for the weekend and afterwards,” Slot said. He will not feature against Brighton, but it is hoped he can return after the international break.

Slot is expected to ease him back into action, but he could still play an important role this season. There has been no official update on the length of his absence after he was stretchered off against Sunderland.

Japan manager Hajime Moriyasu confirmed that Endo underwent surgery last month and is expected to be fit for the World Cup, though his availability for Liverpool this season remains uncertain.
