Liverpool’s injury problems are beginning to mount after seeing two players taken off during Tuesday’s loss against Galatasaray.The Reds lost both Alisson Becker and Hugo Ekitike in the second-half to compound what was a miserable night in Istanbul.Alisson looks set to miss a couple of weeks, beginning with Saturday evening’s trip to face Chelsea.Liverpool will be desperate to halt their slide and maintain their position atop the Premier League table, but only a win at Stamford Bridge will guarantee that.Along with the blow of Alisson, Liverpool saw Ekitike subbed off shortly after, with Federico Chiesa emerging as a fitness doubt ahead of the game.Ekitike looked to have possibly picked up a hamstring issue, but with just two days to go before the Chelsea match, an update has now been issued on the Frenchman, as well as Chiesa.Photo by YASIN AKGUL/AFP via Getty ImagesFederico Chiesa and Hugo Ekitike could face ChelseaThere was widespread uproar from supporters on Tuesday when it emerged that Chiesa had not travelled with the Liverpool squad to Istanbul.However, Slot confirmed the Italian had picked up a ‘niggle’ ahead of the journey it was decided that he would be left behind as a result.READ MORE: Arne Slot told to employ Jurgen Klopp tactic to get the best out of Florian Wirtz at LiverpoolAccording to The Daily Mail, they have had no information that Chiesa is injured.
