It has been reported that a player for Liverpool will be receiving a “long lay-off” in the near future.
The Reds played the first of five matches in just 15 days, and they came away with a 2-2 draw against Everton at Goodison Park on Wednesday. Arne Slot will have to play without a key defender in the coming weeks. The Reds played the first of five matches in just 15 days.
Slot, who was 46 years old at the time, was unable to maintain his composure when he approached referee Michael Oliver shortly after the final whistle blew.
Following a heated argument with the match officials, both the manager of Liverpool and his assistant, Sipke Hulshoff, were given their orders to leave the team.
That is not a push, is it? According to reports, Slot yelled at an assistant referee, “It’s a f**king disgrace… if you go and watch that again.”
After that, he complimented the other linesman by saying, “Well done.”
Immediately prior to exchanging handshakes with Oliver, he made a sarcastic comment to the referee, saying, “Great game.”
In addition, the manager of Liverpool said, “Sure, you give me a red for that?” after the red card was shown. I am going to look into it for a later time… you and I, in agreement? Please show me a red card, and we’ll discuss this further later.
Virgil van Dijk, the captain of Liverpool, voiced his dissatisfaction with the outcome of the match after it had concluded.
“I think the feeling right now is obviously disappointment; that’s pretty obvious, and it will be for today and tonight,” Van Dijk said in an interview with TNT Sports.
“However, beginning tomorrow, we will be concentrating on Wolves, and we will make every effort to obtain all three points at that time, and so on and so forth.”
There is no point in dwelling too much on this result because we all know that we have a lot of games left to play before the international break. We had the potential to win here, and it’s possible that we ought to have won here. We wanted to win here. However, we accept it for what it is and move on with our lives.
Currently, the Premier League leaders have been dealt an additional blow, as Joe Gomez, who is also a defender and plays alongside Van Dijk, is expected to undergo a “long lay-off,” as reported by The Times.
Gomez’s season has been overshadowed by a persistent leg injury, which caused him to miss ten consecutive matches before he returned to the team in the FA Cup fourth round match against Plymouth Argyle last weekend. The match was a 1-0 loss for Plymouth Argyle.
However, he only lasted for ten minutes before withdrawing from the conversation. Slot verified that the injury was sustained by the same leg as in the previous instance.
Additionally, the defender will be subjected to additional examinations in order to determine the extent of the injury. He has been identified as “set to miss a significant chunk of the season” .
