The Liverpool midfielder was taken off during the second-half of his side’s 3-1 FA Cup win at Molineux.He appeared to jar his knee and then received lengthy treatment from Liverpool’s medical team.



Speaking about his side’s performance, Slot added: “Of course, it's a perfect response when you look at the results, but every stat is exactly identical to three days ago. Their only chance they had, they scored one.“The positive thing is three days ago they only had one chance and scored twice.

But overall, there were a lot of similarities between this game and three days ago [and] a lot of ball possession.“But then to your last part of the question, I'm really happy a few players have come back, because I don't think I've ever complained about a player's availability, but if you have to play with 12, 13 or 14 players every three days, then I think it does make sense that maybe once in a while an individual performance is not of the level we are used to of him because they have to play so many games. That's why I respect them so much; every three days the same players had to play.”Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
