Liverpool boss Arne Slot has tipped Erik ten Hag to return to a "big club" after he was sacked by Manchester United

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has tipped Erik ten Hag to return to a "big club" after he was sacked by Manchester United

Federico Chiesa will not be in the Liverpool squad at Brighton on Wednesday night, with Arne Slot suggesting the winger could be facing a longer layoff.

Chiesa has not featured in over a month having suffered with a lack of fitness after his first start for Liverpool in the Carabao Cup win over West Ham.

The Italian was an unused substitute in the following game but has now missed the last five, with Slot giving an update on his fitness on Tuesday.

“Federico, I’m not expecting him to be in the squad tomorrow,” he told reporters ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Brighton in the Carabao Cup.

“How long? That’s always difficult to say, because he goes a bit up and down.

“Sometimes he’s there with us, trains a few days, and then goes out for injury again.

“I don’t want to put days or weeks on it, because I think we just have to make sure he gets in the best possible shape.

“I don’t want to put any pressure on him by coming up with dates.”

Last time out, Slot suggested Chiesa could rejoin team training ahead of the 2-2 draw with Arsenal, but that clearly did not pan out as hoped.

The winger’s struggle so far has led to rumours in his native Italy over a loan back to Serie A in January in order to rebuild his fitness.

Slot quashed such speculation, responding: “That hasn’t gone through my mind at all.

“I think the first and foremost is he gets fit again and then we can see where he is.

“I think there were also reports in Italy [on what I said], what I meant about him was that he missed pre-season and in pre-season that he was on low-intensity sessions, because he had to train with three or four players apart from the group.

“Then going from there to a high-intensity league, to a high-intensity playing style, is difficult in general for every player, but especially if you have a pre-season like this.

“We knew this before, so we knew we had to be really careful to adjust where we could to his individual needs.

“But it hasn’t been perfect yet, so we’re trying to find the right way of building him up without overloading him.

“That has been difficult until now, but I have full confidence that will happen. Let’s let him first be fit.”

Slot also revealed that neither Diogo Jota (rib) or Harvey Elliott (foot) are expected back until after the November international break, though Conor Bradley is back in contention.

Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler has confirmed some early team ahead of the Carabao Cup clash vs. Liverpool, while their captain has been ruled out.

Liverpool head to the Amex on Wednesday for the first of two meetings with Brighton in the space of four days.

Arne Slot is expected to make changes for the fourth-round tie, while his counterpart Hurzeler has already confirmed one of his alterations.

Speaking to journalists in his pre-match press conference on Tuesday, the 31-year-old head coach revealed that goalkeeper Jason Steele would start.

Steele has only featured three times so far this season and only once since August – that being the 3-2 win over Wolves in the previous round of the Carabao Cup.

But with Hurzeler seemingly subscribing to the concept of the cup goalkeeper, Steele will start again on Wednesday night.

He could even captain Brighton, with Lewis Dunk unavailable against Liverpool having picked up a calf injury in the warmup before Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Wolves in the Premier League.

Dunk is also expected to be absent for the league clash at Anfield on Saturday, though Hurzeler said he would take it “day by day.”

Meanwhile, James Milner (thigh), Adam Webster (thigh), Matt O’Riley (ankle), Joao Pedro (ankle) and Solly March (knee) are all still out.

Hurzeler also revealed that midfielder Jack Hinshelwood – who missed the Wolves game with a minor injury – and winger Yankuba Minteh – out for two games with a muscle problem – could come back into contention for the cup.

The same applies for Tariq Lamptey, with the head coach suggesting the right wing-back would be involved having impressed in training.

In the absence of Dunk, Brighton only have two specialist senior centre-backs in Igor Julio and Jan Paul van Hecke, but Hurzeler does otherwise have options to rotate.

The likes of Mats Wieffer, Jakub Moder, Simon Adingra and Evan Ferguson could all come into the side, though it remains to be seen how the head coach will approach things.

Steele, Moder, Adingra, Minteh, Ferguson and Julio Enciso all started in the previous round but have not been regulars in the league.

Possible Brighton XI: Steele; Lamptey, Van Hecke, Igor, Estupinan; Adingra, Baleba, Moder, Kadioglu; Rutter, Ferguson

Giorgi Mamardashvili, who will sign for Liverpool next summer, went viral over the weekend for producing a stunning double save to secure Valencia’s 1-1 draw against Getafe.

With Liverpool having officially reached a deal to sign Mamardashvili next summer, eyes have been glancing from Merseyside to Valencia to see how the goalkeeper has been getting on.

This weekend, they didn’t need to look far as the Georgian international went viral for an incredible double save he produced in La Liga.

With Valencia bottom of the table, they travelled to Madrid and went 1-0 up against Getafe thanks to Enzo Barrenechea’s first-half goal.

Three points were taken from their grasp in injury time, though, when Mauro Arambarri put a penalty down the middle for the visitors.

They almost then conceded again but seven minutes into added time, Mamardashvili pulled off a remarkable double save that showcased his amazing reaction time.

Ben Doak’s team take on Kaide Gordon

There was a clash between two Liverpool loanees in the Championship on Saturday, though the players never actually shared the pitch at the same time.

Ben Doak‘s Middlesbrough travelled to Carrow Road where they drew 3-3 against Norwich in an exciting match that Doak played a crucial part in.

The young Scot was bright from the start, getting to the byline and causing problems for the opposition defence.

In the 40th minute, he ran superbly from inside his own half all the way up the pitch before sliding in Anfernee Dijksteel, who set up Tommy Conway for a relatively simple finish.

Before coming off in the 71st minute, Doak managed the most successful dribbles of any player (three), according to FotMob, and had more touches in the opposition box (10) than anyone else, too.

He also created two chances for Middlesbrough on his eighth club appearance of the season.

On the other side, Kaide Gordon has had a less impactful spell loan spell and only came off the bench in injury time for Norwich as they looked for a winner.

Lewis Koumas, Owen Beck, Luca Stephenson and Rhys Williams were Liverpool’s four loanees to play every minute of their games over the weekend, while Stefan Bajcetic, Calvin Ramsay and Nat Phillips were also in action.
