Liverpool have a rare midweek off to rest before travelling to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
Mohamed Salah has left the club this week to compete for Egypt and will play no part in the remainder of their 2025 fixtures.
Elsewhere, Joe Gomez was injured against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, leaving Liverpool with very few options at right-back.
Who would be the best Mohamed Salah replacement? 🤔
With Conor Bradley suspended, Dominik Szoboszlai was forced to drop into the backline for much of the 2-0 win.
However, Szoboszlai suffered an injury of his own in the fixture, and his potential involvement against Spurs has been cast into doubt.

Thankfully, it doesn’t appear as though the Hungarian will be on the sidelines for too long.
According to a report in his home country, the initial tests did not reveal any serious injury for Szoboszlai.

Meanwhile, speaking on The Official Liverpool FC Podcast, former player Phil Thompson said he’s quite sure the versatile midfielder will be ready to go by the time the Tottenham clash comes around.
Commenting after the Brighton win, he said: “Dominik, I’d like to think it will be swelling, it will be sore. You get to probably Wednesday and it’ll be going down [with] ice treatment and rest.
“He’ll be ready, I’m quite sure, to go out by next weekend.”
Gut feeling, has Mohamed Salah played his last game for Liverpool? If yes, how do you feel about it?
When is Jeremie Frimpong back from injury?
Gomez could be out for a while, with Slot hinting that he’s going to miss the Tottenham game, as per the Evening Standard.
On the Englishman, Slot said: “If I have a player who goes off with a muscle injury like Joe, that’s normally not a positive thing.
“I would not expect him to be in the squad next week [at Tottenham], but sometimes you get a positive surprise.”
His absence could have left Bradley as the only defender available who is capable of playing at right-back this weekend.
But Slot is expecting Jeremie Frimpong to train with the squad ahead of the trip to North London.
He said: “The good thing is that Conor Bradley comes back from a suspension [next week] and normally Jeremie Frimpong will train with us also.”
The Standard gives him a potential return date of December 20.
