“No, not yet,” he said when asked by reporters if he knew the extent of Bradley and Konate’s injuries (via Liverpool Echo).
Slot continued: “I know where they have pain, but it’s hard to judge so soon after the game. We missed Trent today, Jota today, Alisson today, we missed Kostas. It happens during the season. We want them all available. If not, someone else has to step in.”
