Arne Slot confirmed Liverpool must face Arsenal without Diogo Jota leading the line.
After passing its first major test against Chelsea, Liverpool is on its way to the Emirates for its second top-six clash in seven days. Assuming Manchester City secures a victory against Southampton, the Reds need to take three points from Mikel Arteta's men to stay atop the Premier League standings.
Defeating Arsenal is difficult enough, but Liverpool now must do so as injuries pile up. The Liverpool boss issued a fitness update ahead of the Oct. 27 fixture and did not have good news to share.
"Federico [Chiesa] might train with us today or tomorrow, but Diogo [Jota] definitely not," Slot said. "[Alisson] is progressing well, like we expect, but it's not a short-term recovery."
