Arne Slot expected to restore big hitters as Reds face difficult trip to south coast
Liverpool return to Premier League action this weekend when they head to high-flying Bournemouth.
Arne Slot was afforded the chance to rest a lot of his big name players for Liverpool’s 3-2 loss at PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on Wednesday night, with most of them expected back here.
Still, all of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgl van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Alexis Mac Allister look certain to feature.
Joe Gomez, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez are all back in training for the Reds in a major boost for Slot. Curtis Jones, however, is injured.
Federico Chiesa played against PSV and Slot has hinted more opportunities could be on the way for the Italian.
“He's ready for more minutes,” said Slot .
“If he can play 90 in the Champions League, you can play Premier League. His main problem is he is competition with Diaz, Gakpo, Nunez, Salah and Jota. They are doing very well as well. A big compliment to him how hard he worked.”
