Liverpool manager Arne Slot has insisted his side are well-rested. And there is no need to rotate players for Tuesday’s Champions League trip to Girona.
The Reds were given an emergency break after Saturday’s game at Everton was call off by storms, giving them a few more days to relax. “
If we had played Everton we would have played with the same team. But you never know what the intensity of the schedule can bring,” Slot said.
“I think cancelling the game was a good decision. And when you play a special game like that you have to play in good conditions. It was a good decision. “
Liverpool are already assured of at least a play-off place. And Slot’s aim is now to wrap up automatic qualification for the last 16 by guiding them to a top-eight finish.
“If you play starters every time then you also need the result. Because we try to finish high to skip the next round,” he said.
“If you skip the round and still have a difficult draw. สมัคร ufabet We’ll think about it differently but we have to wait and see.
“We want to stay in the top eight so we need a win and the first chance is tomorrow.”
Meanwhile, Alisson has been out with a hamstring injury since early October, but the Brazilian is now in contention to reclaim the number one spot from Caoimhin Kelleher.
“He is fit. I think it speaks for itself if you can play with Alisson. Who has been so outstanding for this club for so many years and for Brazil, that it is definitely nice to have him back and available,” Slot said.
Everyone is ready now so there is no reason to rotate from the last game. We will start with a good team for tomorrow’s game.”
