Arne Slot Acknowledges Ongoing Grief for Diogo Jota, Rejects Excuse for Liverpool’s Slump

His comments follow Andy Robertson’s emotional interview that made the squad’s loss more visible.

Overview

  • Slot said the team misses Jota as a player and person and that the effect on performances cannot be measured.
  • Robertson recently described being in bits before Scotland’s win over Denmark as he struggled with thoughts of Jota.
  • Liverpool’s form has deteriorated after seven straight wins, with multiple reports noting seven defeats in their last 10 games.
  • Injury updates include Alisson Becker returning after eight games out, Florian Wirtz and Conor Bradley sidelined with muscle issues, Bradley out about three weeks, and Jeremie Frimpong around a fortnight from fitness.
  • Supporters and commentators are debating whether the 20th-minute Jota tribute helps the team or risks disrupting players who are still grieving.
