Arne Slot has provided an update on Hugo Ekitike’s fitness ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Arsenal.
The forward missed last Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Fulham due to delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), raising doubts over his availability for Thursday’s Premier League meeting at the Emirates Stadium.
Slot said: “He has not trained with us until now and let’s see if he can today [Wednesday].
“I’ve said, I think, two or three days ago when we played Fulham that he is not going to be out for long but because games come so fast he is in between maybe training with the team or it would take him one or two days extra.”
