Liverpool manager Arne Slot discussed squad limitations and injuries ahead of the Champions League match against Qarabag. Defender Joe Gomez will not be available for the match. Ibrahima Konate is also ruled out due to a difficult period.
Andy Robertson remains part of the squad and is expected to stay at the club despite speculation. Liverpool’s smaller squad compared to last season affects their ability to rotate players.
In a positive note for Qarabag, their reserve team, Qarabag-2, won their match against Zira-2 with a score of 5-1. Elvin Jafarguliyev scored a penalty, and Abbas Huseynov also found the net in this victory.
Meanwhile, Sabah has made history by becoming the first new champion in Azerbaijani football in the last 18 seasons. They are now the 9th different team to win the Azerbaijani championships since 1992.
The last first-time winner was Inter in the 2007/2008 season. Sabah clinched the title with four rounds remaining in the season.
Slot emphasized the need for improvement, stating, “Noise will not stop unless we improve.” He also mentioned that he must be careful with his decisions regarding player selection.
The upcoming match against Qarabag is crucial for Liverpool as they navigate these injury challenges. The team’s depth will be tested as they aim for success in the Champions League.
