Stay up to date with the latest Liverpool transfer news, rumors, and injury reports as the January window enters its final days. From Arne Slot’s tactical adjustments to the latest squad availability ahead of the Champions League, we have you covered.
Arne Slot to Address Media Ahead of Qarabag Clash
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot is set to speak to the media this afternoon. Following a frustrating 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday, all eyes are on how the Reds will bounce back in their final Champions League league phase game against Qarabag.
Slot is expected to face questions on:
- The team’s defensive lapses against Bournemouth.
- Squad rotation for the midweek European fixture.
- Potential movement in the final hours of the January transfer window.
Live coverage of the press conference begins at 3:30 PM.
Injury Blow: Gomez and Konate Missing from Training
In a significant blow to Liverpool’s defensive depth, both Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez were absent from the latest training session at the AXA Training Centre.
Gomez had recently filled in for Konate during the matches against Marseille and Bournemouth, but both now face a race against time to be fit for Wednesday’s Anfield showdown. If both are sidelined, Slot may be forced to explore makeshift options in central defense.
Transfer Latest: Chiesa and Robertson Future Uncertain
Despite the swirling rumors regarding their futures, Federico Chiesa and Andrew Robertson were both spotted training with the first-team squad today.
With the January transfer deadline fast approaching, speculation remains high:
- Federico Chiesa: Linked with a potential return to Italy on loan.
- Andrew Robertson: Subject to interest as Liverpool looks toward long-term succession planning.
While both remain involved in the matchday preparations, their status could change rapidly as the deadline nears.
Young centre-back Ifeanyi Ndukwe is set to sign for Liverpool from Austria Vienna.
His move is close to being finalised and he will join the academy.
Ndukwe would be recruited as a development player and would join Rob Page’s U21s squad.
Ndukwe is an Austria U17 international who has been playing for Austria Vienna’s youth team.
