Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has described Harvey Elliott’s injury as a ‘big blow’ to the team, but new signing Federico Chiesa and Alexis Mac Allister could be available for selection this weekend.
The Reds are looking to make it four wins out of four to start the season when they host Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday.
They will have to do so without Elliott after he suffered a fractured foot on England Under-21s duty, which will sideline him for up to six weeks.
The 21-year-old had only made one appearance off the bench so far this season, but was in line for more minutes during a congested schedule over the next month. Liverpool will play once every three or four days as the Uefa Champions League returns.
