Arne Slot confirms Diogo Jota injury blow ahead of Arsenal clash as Liverpool boss gives positive Federico Chiesa update

Premier League

Nottingham Forest

Southampton

<p>Jota, a key player for the Reds this season with four goals and two assists in 10 appearances, suffered an injury in last <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arne-slot-issues-worrying-update-diogo-jota-liverpool-forward-injured-against-chelsea/blte354b57093a8c9bb" target="_blank">weekend’s match against Chelsea,</a> forcing him to leave the pitch early. The injury kept him sidelined for their midweek <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/injury-disaster-liverpool-diogo-jota-knee-issue-curtis-jones-brentford-mohamed-salah-return/blt437ba0b65a27a61f" target="_blank">Champions League encounter with RB Leipzig</a> and now the Portuguese will also miss the trip to north London.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>In addition to Jota’s unavailability, Slot also revealed that Federico Chiesa also remains unavailable but might resume training on Friday.</p><p>"I think they feel good but not when it comes to playing for us during the weekend," he told reporters. "Federico might train with us today or tomorrow – but Diogo definitely not. And Conor Bradley, let's see if he can be with us tomorrow."</p>

WHAT SLOT SAID

<p>Liverpool’s first-choice goalkeeper, Alisson Becker, remains sidelined with a hamstring injury he sustained against Crystal Palace. As a result, backup goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has stepped in to fill Alisson’s role, and Slot confirmed that Kelleher will continue to be Liverpool’s starting goalkeeper against the Gunners.</p><p>On Alisson’s condition, Slot remarked: "Progressing well like we expect, not a short-term recovery, so difficult to judge. We judge him at the end phase of his rehab but not yet. Don't expect him to be at Brighton in the cup."</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Slot has made a strong impact since taking the managerial role at Liverpool, guiding the team to an impressive start to the Premier League season. Despite the injuries affecting key players, Liverpool have maintained a high level of performance, and Sunday’s matchup against Arsenal presents a chance for the Reds to extend their winning form and hold on to the top spot of the league standings. </p>
