There was welcome news of no new injuries for Liverpool ahead of their trip to Leedsplus reports of interest in Yan Diomande and plenty to dissect from Arne Slot‘s press conference.

24-man Liverpool squad trains for Leeds

Liverpool, thankfully, had no bad surprises for us in training on the eve of their trip to Leeds.

Conor Bradley trained ahead of his return to the matchday squad, while Calvin Ramsay was also involved in the session in a nod to the wait still ongoing for Jeremie Frimpong.

The Dutchman did take part in an individual session on the outdoor pitches at the AXA Training Centre, but is only anticipated to make his team training return next week.

Twenty-one-year-old Kaide Gordon was also one of the 24 players involved as the finishing touches were put on preparations for the tough trip to Elland Road.

With Bradley returning to the fold, it is unlikely either Gordon or Ramsay are in Saturday’s matchday squad, with it likely Trey Nyoni drops out due to no new injuries.

Now for the team to perform, please.

Arne Slot press conference: Team news, Chiesa &

• A right-back change was hinted at for the visit to Leeds withBradleyto be in the squad and Joe Gomez having been nursing a knock – it’ll be nice to have a specialist right-back again!

• If you were hoping forFederico Chiesato start, you’re likely to be disappointed as Slot all but swerved a question on his chances – how did this man wrong you, Arne?!

•Cody Agat‘s form is in the spotlight but Slot insisted he is not suffering from a lack of competition on the left. We may need to agree to disagree on this one.

•Alexander Isakis suffering from a lack of involvement and Slot has said it is ‘definitely on his list of things to improve‘. It must be quite the list…
