Nottingham Forest will now visit Anfield, home of Liverpool, as the Reds prepare to play at 3 p.m.

Liverpool doesn’t have many personnel issues as far as the team is concerned, but Slot has acknowledged that there is one issue that is a “big disappointment.”
Harvey Elliott’s injury news disappointed Arne Slot, the manager of Liverpool.

According to the Liverpool website, Slot discussed Harvey Elliott’s injury with the media, which could keep him out of play for more than a month.

After suffering an injury during a training session with England’s Under-21 team, the Reds midfield player was promptly returned to his club’s care.

Upon additional examination by the medical staff at the AXA Training Centre in Kirkby, Elliott’s fracture was discovered.

The Reds manager is disappointed to learn that the 21-year-old may be sidelined for the next six weeks, as reported by the Liverpool Echo.

“Harvey is of course a big disappointment for him but not only for him, also for us,” said Slot.

“Okay, he didn’t play that much in the first three games but he played a lot in pre-season and he showed himself really well.

“So, of course, if he had stayed fit he would have had a lot of playing time in the upcoming fixtures. But now he isn’t [fit] and that also gives the chance to someone else.

“So it is, first and foremost, a blow for himself, and then also for us because I think availability is important in the stage of the season when we play seven games in 22 days, I think.

“It’s a blow for the both of us but he will work as hard as always to come back in the best possible way. He didn’t stay fit unfortunately so he is out for a longer time.”
