Arne Slot to embrace squad rotation as Liverpool head into European campaign

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot admits he may have to embrace squad rotation more than he has done previously in his career as the demands of the Champions League campaign kick in.

Saturday’s visit of Nottingham Forest is the start of period of seven matches in 22 days but in his first three games he had made just one change to his starting XI – Ibrahima Konate coming in for Jarell Quansah at centre-back.

During his time at Feyenoord Slot resisted the temptation to make too many alterations, although he did not have the depth of resources he now has at Anfield.

Arne Slot provided updates on the fitness of Federico Chiesa, Harvey Elliott and Alexis Mac Allister during this morning’s pre-match press conference
