Press conferenceInjury and fitness news: Latest on Joe Gomez, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez
Joe Gomez, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez will train on Friday but no decision has yet been made on their availability for Liverpool’s game against AFC Bournemouth.
Gomez has missed the Reds’ last eight matches because of a hamstring injury, while Jota has not featured since scoring the equaliser in the 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest in mid-January.
Nunez, meanwhile, was ruled out of Wednesday’s loss at PSV Eindhoven due to illness and Arne Slot was asked on Friday morning whether the trio are ready to return in Saturday’s Premier League visit to Vitality Stadium.
The head coach told the media: “All three of them are in training today so then the question is, ‘Are they already far enough to join us towards Bournemouth?’
“That’s something we have to wait and see today because we have probably also more than 20 players available. We always have more than 20 available but the ones that are mostly there.
“So, we have to make the smartest decision for them, but also for winning the game tomorrow.”
