🤔 #LFC are missing Trent Alexander-Arnold, but he wouldn't be the solution for Arne Slot if still a Reds player either.

🤕 #LFC were left sweating over three new injury scares vs Chelsea as they fell to a third-successive defeat.

It's not ideal to head into an international break off the back of a loss, never mind three. But stung by a number of injuries this season, Arne Slot has been handed a blessing in disguise.
