Liverpool news and transfers LIVE: Ekitike and Chiesa latest, Wirtz decision, Chelsea build-up

1 day ago 19

After defeats to Crystal Palace and Galatasaray this week, Liverpool will look to get back on track in the Premier League against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge later today.

Victor Osimhen's penalty was enough to secure the Turkish champion a victory in the Champions League group phase encounter, with the Reds far from their best once again as they rarely looked as though they would find a way back into the game.

And the game produced even more headaches for Slot than just another defeat. Alisson Becker and Hugo Ekitike were both forced off injured during the second half.

There is hope that Ekitike will be passed fit to face the Blues, but Slot has already ruled Alisson out of the weekend and beyond, with yet another injury problem for Liverpool's goalkeeper providing plenty of concern.

Federico Chiesa also had a knock and missed the trip to Turkey, while Giovanni Leoni has undergone successful surgery on his ACL injury.
