"Just before I took him off, there was a moment where he could hardly walk any more because of cramp," Slot explained. "And I see all of them making progress in that, so Hugo had cramp today but I can assure you he did twice as much at the beginning of the season when I had to take him off with cramp as well and that is what this league brings as well.

We are trying to prepare them more and more and I can see progress for all our signings." Arne Slot talks to Mohamed Salah during the win over Brighton Slot also reserved praise for Ekitike after his latest impressive performance in a red shirt as Liverpool climbed to sixth in the Premier League standings following the win over Fabian Hurzeler's Seagulls. "I think I can see the players we have brought in this season have progressed," Slot had told Sky Sports earlier.

I can see them getting stronger in the duels they play. I think he is also one of the players I say when he is getting better and better.
