Elsewhere, Joe Gomez made his return to the pitch during the second half of the Premier League opener after departing the pre-season tour with a minor injury.<\/p>\n
Slot was asked if he has any concerns about the fitness of his options for right-back.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, Jeremie has a very positive injury record. Conor has been out once or twice last season. These things happen in a season,\u201d the Dutchman replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe only have at the moment two injuries, unfortunately it is two for the same position. But the good thing is some others can play in that position as well. Wata [Endo] played in that position for a few minutes, Dominik Szoboszlai already played in that position.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, there are other options we can explore. Joe Gomez is definitely one of them, but for him to play already 20 minutes, that was already quite a lot. I wouldn\u2019t say he had a setback but he wasn\u2019t able to train three days in a row completely with the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhich is completely normal if you\u2019re out for so long and all of a sudden the manager needs you for 20 minutes. But he is training with the team, so let\u2019s see where he is on Monday, if he can be involved in the team or if he can even start.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut there are other options we have as well in this position. It\u2019s just you cannot prepare for two injuries in one position, it would be stupid for us to have three full-backs or five left-backs.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough we have three left-backs at the moment! So we\u2019re unlucky that the right full-backs are injured.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Elsewhere, Joe Gomez made his return to the pitch during the second half of the Premier League opener…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":163988,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[2367,25581,12730,25577,25573,25582,25584,25583,1836,25576,25575,25572,25580,10596,25578,62,25574,67,132,68,25579],"class_list":{"0":"post-163987","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-alisson","9":"tag-firmino","10":"tag-homepage","11":"tag-klopp","12":"tag-lfc","13":"tag-lfc-news","14":"tag-lfctv","15":"tag-lfctv-go","16":"tag-liverpool-fc","17":"tag-liverpool-fc-match","18":"tag-liverpool-fc-news","19":"tag-liverpool-football-club","20":"tag-mane","21":"tag-reds","22":"tag-salah","23":"tag-sports","24":"tag-the-reds","25":"tag-united-states","26":"tag-unitedstates","27":"tag-us","28":"tag-van-dijk"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115067254511337978","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163987"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163987\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/163988"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=163987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=163987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
