The Liverpool manager acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding the injuries, emphasizing that their exits were alarming. As noted by the Liverpool Echo, Slot commented:
“They are still undergoing assessments, so it’s difficult to say much at this stage. Let’s wait for further updates. Seeing Conor leave the field and Ibou struggling to walk off after such a fantastic game is worrying. He should’ve been celebrating with the fans, but he couldn’t.”
Recovery Timelines Remain Uncertain
