Ekitike a Doubt for Liverpool's Trip to Arsenal After Missed Training
Arne Slot will make a late decision, with injuries plus tournament absences squeezing his forward options.
Overview
- The striker missed the Fulham match with a minor hamstring problem and had not trained as of Wednesday morning, according to Slot.
- Slot said the issue is short term and that Ekitike may need one or two extra days before rejoining full training.
- Even if he proves fitness in a late assessment, a starting place at the Emirates is viewed as unlikely by team news reports.
- Liverpool are already without Mohamed Salah due to the Africa Cup of Nations and Alexander Isak with a serious leg injury.
- Further absences include Wataru Endo, Stefan Bajcetic, Giovanni Leoni and Jayden Danns, leaving Slot to piece together a makeshift attack.
