Liverpool manager Arne Slot has provided injury updates on Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez ahead of Saturday's clash with Leeds United. Conor Bradley has trained this week so I expect him to train today and then he is available to be in the squad tomorrow."Liverpool's manager, Arne Slot, has been making waves by leaving Mohamed Salah on the bench for the club's last two matches.

Maybe he deserves that because he has been so influential for this club and for me and for his team-mates for seven years I think already."It's completely normal.

If I don't play players who just come to the club, we're already talking about it so it's completely normal that people aren't talking about it when he isn't playing." Trending Slot also addressed his use of Federico Chiesa, who despite making a significant impact from the bench, including a crucial goalline clearance in stoppage time recently, has yet to start a Premier League or Champions League match this season."As I just said, every player has a possibility to start but we have many options to start in his position," Slot said. "He has indeed had an impact coming off the bench a few times."Normally you bring a striker in to score a goal but he, in this situation, kept on running in a moment when a player might stop and think they cannot do a lot anymore because he's going to go one-v-one so that says a lot about his mentality to not concede."And that's a good thing because that's not what only defenders should have but also what attackers should have."
