Arne Slot Rules Out Two Key Liverpool Players for Aston Villa After Confirming Injury Boost

Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirms Isak and Jones likely sidelined for Premier League clash; Gravenberch returns to training amid tight schedule including Real Madrid and Man City games.

  • Liverpool announced ahead of the match that Alexander Isak and Curtis Jones are 99.9% out, while Ryan Gravenberch has returned to training and may be considered for selection.
  • Because of three games in seven or eight days, Slot said he rotated heavily in the Carabao Cup fourth round against Crystal Palace, making 10 changes to protect key players before the Villa game.
  • Gravenberch had been sidelined for the past three matches with an ankle injury sustained two weeks ago, while Alexander Isak and Curtis Jones suffered groin or match injuries.
  • The result left Arne Slot under pressure, as he acknowledged Liverpool squad must not make a habit of losing after six defeats in seven games, with supporters and commentators describing the run as a crisis.
  • With Real Madrid and Manchester City to follow, Liverpool face Aston Villa in a key week after spending near 450 million pounds and failing to keep a clean sheet in 10 games.
