It’s worked left to right, where Mbappe dribbles out for a goal kick.90 min +1: Kerkez is up and about again, shaking loose his sore leg but fine to continue. There didn’t seem any intent … and the referee had turned his back on the play, so there’s no free kick … but the newly arrived substitute felt that, so on comes the trainer.88 min: Liverpool make another two changes, sending on Chiesa and Kerkez in place of Wirtz and Robertson.87 min: Salah jinks in from the right.



Goal kick.82 min: He couldn’t, could he? Salah’s been quiet this evening, but he’s not stopped working, and the crowd enjoyed that.65 min: Wirtz is fine to continue, though he felt that, and is rubbing his jawline.64 min: Wirtz goes down in the centre circle, having come off worse in a tangle with Mbappe.
