The full-back, who signed from Bayer Leverkusen this summer, sustained a hamstring issue in the first week of the season which kept him out of the win over Newcastle United on Monday and will again deny him the chance to play against Arsenal.

The Argentinian picked up a minor injury last week which kept him out of the Newcastle match, but he has also trained this week

Slot had hinted ahead of the trip to the north-east that he would partner Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch together in midfield, a combination which proved so effective last season but has not been seen so far in 2025/26.

If Mac Allister is not available, Slot could well stick with Curtis Jones in the middle.

The Liverpool head coach confirmed there were no fresh injuries sustained after the Newcastle game and added that Virgil van Dijk was fine following the nasty challenge from Anthony Gordon on Monday.



Mac Allister could return to the side against Arsenal

Martin Odegaard was named in the Norway squad for the upcoming international break, leading to hopes from Arsenal fans that he may have recovered from the shoulder injury he sustained last week, but Mikel Arteta gave a more pessimistic outlook when speaking ahead of the match.

“We don’t know yet

Let’s see,” the Arsenal boss said on Friday.

“He is doing everything he can, we are doing everything that we can to make himself available - but we will have to wait and see tomorrow.

“There is an injury there, but hopefully if everything goes well, he can cope with it
