âWelcome to our seasonâ â Arne Slot laments latest Liverpool injury setback
On an otherwise positive day for Arne Slot, the Liverpool boss was dealt the latest injury setback to hit his squad after Curtis Jones was forced off against Fulham on Saturday evening.
The Reds put a halt to a run of three consecutive defeats, thanks in large part to a terrific performance from young upstart Rio Ngumoha. The 17-year-old scored a stunning goal before being involved in the lead-up to Mo Salahâs exquisite first-touch finish at Anfield.
The victory, which ensures Liverpool will end the weekend inside the top five of the Premier League table, came at a cost, however.
