"Speaking in his pre-match press conference, manager Arne Slot confirmed the nature of the absences and provided an update on their recovery timelines: Cody Gakpo will be out for a few weeks he's injured, Slot revealed, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. Federico Chiesa is out today because he's ill. We'll monitor him closely, but it's not serious. Slot did not go into detail about Endo's absence but he will be a huge miss as well along with the other two players."
"The Liverpool squad has been tested to the limits this season and when results are not going your way, the scrutiny increases. Gakpo will be a massive loss for the Reds since he is a player who gets the most playing time udner the Dutch manager at Liverpool.

Liverpool missed Cody Gakpo, Wataru Endo and Federico Chiesa at Monday's open training, and none were in the 19-man travelling squad to Italy. All three featured in the 3-3 draw with Leeds, with Gakpo starting and Endo replacing him late while Chiesa remained unused. Manager Arne Slot confirmed Gakpo is injured and will be out for a few weeks, said Chiesa is ill but not seriously, and did not detail Endo's issue. The absences worsen squad-depth concerns, with Gakpo a massive loss given his heavy minutes. Liverpool need positive results amid off-field noise, including Mohamed Salah's fallout with Slot and his omission from the Champions League squad.
