Liverpool manager Arne Slot’s stylish response to Rodri’s horrific injury

Liverpool manager Arne Slot mentioned the injury to Manchester City midfielder Rodri in one of his interviews.

The Dutch manager guided Liverpool into the next round of the Carabao Cup after they beat West Ham United 5-1 at Anfield.

It was another convincing performance from the Reds, who have made a great start under new manager Slot.

They are currently second in the league and doing well in the Champions League and the Carabao Cup.

Slot is concerned about Diogo Jota and how to guide him to prevent him from getting injured again.

The Portugal international scored twice against West Ham to guide the Reds through to the next round of the Carabao Cup.

The former Wolves striker suffered a lot of injury woes during his time at Liverpool and Slot now wants to manage his playing time carefully by rotating him with other players.

Speaking to the media after the Carabao Cup match against West Ham, Slot, quoted by Liverpool World, said:

“Rotate. I think we try to manage his minutes as best as we can, like the others, but we also try to prepare them during the week and during the first months of pre-season to prepare them for so many games in the Premier League.

“Sometimes there are small margins, sometimes you can be unlucky. If you see what happened to Rodri (who suffered a knee ligament injury in Manchester City’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal), it’s so, so unlucky for him. It’s trying to prepare them as best as possible, but in the end you also need a bit of luck. What the players can do is be as professional as possible, live as best as possible for their careers and I think that’s what they’ve done so far and what they’re doing at the moment – ​​and we, as a staff, are trying to prepare them as best as we can to get through this period without injuries.”

Liverpool manager Arne Slot is concerned about his players

The Man City midfielder is expected to miss the majority of the season after picking up an injury against Arsenal.

He has torn his anterior cruciate ligament and questions are again being raised about the high number of games players are having to play these days.

With the increase in the number of Champions League matches and a busy season schedule, followed by a hectic summer including the European Championship, players are finding it difficult to stay fit and avoid injuries.

It is a huge loss for Man City to be without their regular midfielder for a large part of the season, something that would help Liverpool in their pursuit of the Premier League title.

Slot hopes to prevent his players from getting into a similar injury situation. To do that, he needs to keep them fresh and play them in rotations.
