Haberler wrote that the fact the Reds have won just one of their previous five meetings against Galatasaray 'sends shivers down the spines of the English'.

We don't expect Florian to be available. That's a disappointment, something I didn't expect after last week. Sometimes that's how things can evolve. It's a big accomplishment for him to stay fit for such a long time because he had to stay fit to make the step up but unfortunately he is not available, which is a disappointment for him and for us, because he played really well.

According to Premier Injuries, after 1,383 days were lost through injury in Klopp's last season at Anfield, in 2024/25 that figure dropped to just 764 under Slot. Only Forest (673) lost fewer days through injury absence in the Premier League.

"You always miss good football players," Slot began (via X account @iMiaSanMia). "He was so important for us last season, but he wasn't the only one. There were more players that were influential in our results. But I think we have replaced them with very good players as well."

Geertruida is currently on a season-long loan at Premier League side Sunderland, however talks are now ongoing to determine if that deal could be terminated to allow for a January switch to Anfield. Sources told ESPN that the 25-year-old is one of the names under discussion as Liverpool seek to bolster their defense before the transfer window closes on Monday.

I think that's what we are doing more and more not only with him but with many players. I think I've said this recently quite a lot, our game in between boxes is good enough for our attackers to be often enough in promising positions. I know, we know that if this happens enough times then our players will do what we expect of them because they have so much quality.

AS Roma have confirmed that talks are underway for Kostas Tsimikas to cut his loan spell short and return to Liverpool. The talks to bring him back began after Tottenham made a move to sign Andy Robertson. While initial reports suggested Tsimikas' recall was a contingency plan for Robertson's potential departure, reports now suggest that Liverpool have pulled the plug on selling the Scotsman to their Premier League rivals. However, despite retaining Robertson, the decision to bring the world-class defender back to Merseyside remains unchanged.
