""He hasn't trained with us up until now," Slot said in his pre-match news conference. "Let's see if he can train with us today. Two or three days ago, when we played against Fulham, I said he wouldn't be out for long but it's hard because the games come so fast. He is inbetween maybe training with the team or it maybe taking him one or two days extra.""
""It's nine games unbeaten but we have definitely had two draws too many," Slot said. "Where are we? I think I've said so many times that the answer to that question is we aren't where we want to be, but I feel we have a very talented squad. If everyone's available and ready, then I think we can do special things.""
Hugo Ekitike is doubtful for Liverpool's Premier League trip to Arsenal after missing the 2-2 draw with Fulham due to a muscle problem and not yet training. Alexander Isak remains sidelined with a broken fibula and Mohamed Salah is at the Africa Cup of Nations with Egypt, reducing available forwards. Liverpool are unbeaten in nine matches across competitions and sit fourth in the table, but recent draws have generated criticism for lacklustre performances. Manager Arne Slot says the squad is talented but has lacked consistency and needs players available and ready to improve results.
