Discussing his injury, Slot said: "He felt something when he had to reach for the ball, I think we all know which moment it was."When we were trying to force something, I thought I can't get that long of a time, on the other side there was someone on the floor as well, the referee blew his whistle and I wasn't really thinking that we had an injury, but Hugo felt something."And after the game, that's always the difficult thing with these moments, when players feel like, oh, it's not too bad, but when you just walk around with something different, and when you make a spin, you have to shoot another one from the target. He said he couldn't continue, so we had to take him off.

He tried it today, he was on the pitch in the beginning, but he couldn't end the session, so we decided not to take him because in a few days it's Chelsea again."Potential return date: Saturday, October 4 (Chelsea, A).Giovanni LeoniOne player who is certain to be be absent for Liverpool's clash against the Blues is talented young defender Giovanni Leoni.
