The English premier league is back into full action this weekend, managers of respective clubs are warming up and prepping their team to compete for the three maximum points at the end of their first league match after the international breaks, hence the culture of pre-match conference has been under-way since yesterday, October 18, 2024.
Liverpool’s manager, Arne Slot have been at the pre-match press meetings with the journalists and has provided details of the injury situations of his number-one safe per of hands, Alisson Becker and some hints of his right-back, Trent Alexander Arnold attracting juicy transfer proposals from Real Madrid.
In details, a journalist at the press conference probed Arne Slot to provide the public with the current status of Alisson Becker’s recovery into full match fitness after he was subbed off in a league game due to injury and when he is set to join the the team.
“I expect him to be back before Christmas, yes… but you never know. It is always difficult to know how an injury will go in the first stages, so we can answer that question better in two or three weeks,” he said.
Arne Slot when quizzed by a journalist regarding his Trent’s links by the media to Real Madrid in the next summer transfer window after the Spanish side have lost their veteran right-back, Dani Carvajal due to an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury.
“Well, our players are used to being linked with all the top clubs on a daily basis. If you think they are disturbed by these interests, then I think you do not do justice to how used they are to this.
“You just focus on what you have to do. Maybe if you are 17 or 18 years of age, that could be difficult for you. But Trent has won the league, has won the Champions League, Virgil van Dijk and Salah are the same,” Arne Slot answered.
