There is, of course, the chance to go back in for him in January, although Arne Slot has already indicated the Reds don’t have any plans to dip back into the market in the New Year. “That all depends on whether we get more injuries, yes or no, and if there's a chance in the market - all the answers I always give,” Slot said just a couple of weeks ago.

Also, if it is ever a situation where I lead a team that has four or five injuries throughout the whole season, it might be a bit smarter to go to 24/25, but recent history showed that [we have a good record] until now. Ibrahima Konate has been sent home early from international duty (Image: Getty Images) “We don't have five or six injuries at the same time throughout the whole season.

If we want to keep these top players, we cannot have 24/25 of them.” Despite what Slot said, Liverpool is very nearly at the point where it won’t have any other option but to go after another defender in January - whether it’s Guehi or anyone else. Hopefully, it doesn’t happen before we move into 2025, but even if that is the case, Slot and Liverpool can’t risk luck being on their side for the rest of the season.
