Harvey Elliott has indicated that his recovery from injury is going to plan after missing Liverpool’s last seven games across all competitions. The 21-year-old has been sidelined since September after sustaining a fracture to his foot while on international duty with England’s Under-21s. Last month, the ECHO reported that Elliott was hopeful of making a return to action after the international break, with Liverpool next in action when they welcome Chelsea to Anfield on October 20. On Wednesday, the midfielder implied that his return to action is on track by uploading a story to Instagram of himself at the Reds’…
Liverpool have several injury concerns going into the October international break. The Reds went into the two-week pause with a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday. While Arne Slot’s side stayed top of the Premier League table with the win at Selhurst Park, Liverpool suffered a major injury blow with Alisson Becker substituted with a hamstring problem in the second half. The Reds now look set to be without their No.1 for the foreseeable future, with Caoimhin Kelleher expected to deputise in his place. Liverpool return to Premier League action after the international break at…
Steve Nicol has heaped lofty praise on Ryan Gravenberch, saying that the Liverpool midfielder has completely blown him away with his improvement and performances this season. Six months ago, the Dutchman was effectively an afterthought in the Reds’ squad, and it didn’t seem like he’d be able to become a consistent starter at Anfield. However, since Arne Slot’s arrival on Merseyside, the former Ajax man is a footballer reborn and has become one of the first names on the team sheet for LFC. Speaking on the ESPN FC YouTube channel, Nicol praised the 22-year-old. He gushed: “Talk about coming from…
Arne Slot had done his homework. When the Liverpool boss was grilled on the marginal gains that could help turn his team from title hopefuls into genuine contenders for the Premier League trophy, he was quick to point out Manchester City’s superior record on the road last term. Liverpool were peerless when it came to home form in 2023/24, with the 48 points amassed at Anfield bettering the tallies of every other team in the top flight. Away from Merseyside, however, it was a different story. City posted a 44-point haul on their travels last season, with the Reds securing…
World Cup winner Alexis Mac Allister is an integral part of Argentina’s midfield and while featuring heavily for Liverpool as well, his fitness has been an ongoing concern. Across what is set to be a jam-packed football schedule, the player has already played in 12 matches for club and country and we are only in October. Playing in a more freeing No8 role this season Mac Allister delivered excellent performances so far this season, running the hard yards, supporting Ryan Gravenberch in his defensive duties as well as creating attacks with Dominik Szoboszlai. However, in September’s international break, there were…
In the process of selecting a lineup, a manager may find his appreciation for a player’s talent in conflict with concerns about whether that player’s style of play suits his set-up. In the case of Darwin Nunez, Arne Slot has yielded to the latter factor in the majority of his lineups in the opening weeks of the campaign. Though Nunez’s quality as a footballer is clear, his performances and reliability in front of goal have been polarizing since his arrival at Liverpool two years ago. At his best, the forward can produce sensational finishes, dominate in aerial duels and presses…
Alisson limped off with a hamstring injury in the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace, with manager Arne Slot quickly admitting he was likely to miss his side’s first game back after October’s internationals against Chelsea. According to The Times, Alisson’s injury is slightly more serious than first feared and scans have revealed he will need to spend over a month on the sidelines. Not only will Alisson miss the Chelsea game, but Liverpool’s starting stopper will also be forced to watch matches against RB Leipzig, Arsenal, Brighton & Hove Albion, Bayer Leverkusen and Aston Villa from the sidelines. Alisson is…
Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes Liverpool would become instant title favourites if Darwin Nunez starts scoring goals on a regular basis. The Uruguayan has struggled for consistency since his £85m move from Benfica in 2022 and Wright believes head coach Arne Slot needs to find a way to improve the striker’s form: “Can you imagine, can you imagine if Nunez could score consistently? That’s a lot of money to play for a squad player. I see [Diogo] Jota as the main man, he’s an impact player and that’s a lot of money for an impact player “I’ve seen enough of…
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it is inevitable that William Saliba will leave Arsenal. The time will come that not one supporter wants to see, but the best centre-half in the Premier League from the past two seasons will indeed move on from the Gunners… but hopefully not for another decade. Reported interest from Real Madrid has been circulating through the feeds over the past couple of hours sparking fear and worry among fans. It is hardly a surprise to see a player of his calibre be in reception of such links let alone if…
Liverpool winger Luis Diaz has been so good at the start of the Arne Slot era that it has been almost impossible to miss him. Nonetheless, Bolivia seemingly wanted to get a closer look behind the scenes before trying to stop him later this week. According to Gol Caracol, Colombia manager Nestor Lorenzo has accused Bolivia of “spying” on one of its training sessions. Despite players like Diaz and Aston Villa forward Jhon Duran being fairly well known, Colombia’s next opponent supposedly sent someone to check up on the training session. Diaz’s South American side is said to be “furious”…
