Liverpool will be without both Wataru Endo and Cody Gakpo for a number of weeks, but Arne Slot provided a more positive update on Federico Chiesa ahead of Brighton. That comes after ankle and muscle injuries respectively, with Slot ruling both out for “weeks” when speaking ahead of the visit of Brighton.

“He trained yesterday and he will train today, so I assume he is ready to be in the squad tomorrow again.” Liverpool are facing another doubt when it comes to Alexander Isak, with the head coach revealing the Swede had picked up a knock] early on against Inter. “So let’s see how he has recovered from that today,” Slot said.

“[We will see] if he’s able to start tomorrow and, if he is able, if I make the decision to start [Isak and Hugo Ekitike] again together or we do it in a different way.” Liverpool short of options vs. Slot also knows he will be without Conor Bradley for the clash with Brighton at Anfield, having earned a one-match suspension for five yellow cards in the Premier League.
