One of the best people ever.”Liverpool now have six days before they are back in Premier League action, facing Crystal Palace on Saturday.With Alisson still out, there are question marks over who will start between the sticks.Thankfully, when Slot gave an injury update on Mamardashvili after the Everton tie, it does not appear as though the number two will be out for that long.However, he did cast doubt over a return against the Eagles, meaning we could see Woodman between the sticks once more.Slot said: “Didn’t look great, it was a big wound, he went straight away to the hospital so let’s see how that will work out for him. I fear the worst, not the worst in a long-term injury but fear the worst for next week.”Woodman made one save and completed seven of his 14 attempted passes when he came on against Everton.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
