The teenager appeared to slip on the astroturf surround at the edge of the pitch while chasing a loose ball to the byline, his momentum carrying him off the playing surface. After receiving treatment from the physios, he was unable to continue and was replaced by Ryan Gravenberch for the closing stages of the contest. Given Liverpool's recent injury luck, the sight of the wonderkid limping towards the tunnel was a worrying one, but Slot was quick to provide a reassuring update immediately after the final whistle.
