Arne Slot reported ‘a few issues’ with fitness in the squad ahead of #LIVCHE ⤵️

“Although it’s so hard to change all of your 11 players because you play only two days later but you don’t expect a goalkeeper to pick up a muscle injury.
“What is very good in Holland is I’m 99.9 per cent sure that teams that play in the Champions League in the upcoming week don’t play on a Sunday.
“They get extra rest to be the best possible way prepared for the Champions League game. That is not something common in England.
“Here, we say: ‘You have so many good players, you get your results in Europe no matter what’.

“We decide the fixture list and don’t take the Champions League into account.”
Slot has at least been boosted by the news all his players have returned fit from international duty for Sunday’s game at Chelsea, after which they have a Champions League tie away to RB Leipzig on Wednesday.
Trent Alexander-Arnold earned a third man-of-the-match award in four matches for interim England boss Lee Carsley for his performance against Finland, playing at left-back for the first time in his career.
But the right-back continues to receive criticism for his displays with ITV pundit Roy Keane saying before the game: “I still can’t believe how bad he is defensively. If you saw him the other night defending, it looked like he’d never played right-back before either.”

“He was, and is, still important in our attacking part of our game and I also like the way he has defended until now in the games he has played for us,” said the Dutchman.
“He made a step up in that perspective, but like for all the others, there is always room for improvement.
“He has done well for the national team as well as in four games he was three times man of the match. That’s quite a good score.

“England has a lot of very good players and Trent is one and if you then play the likes of Finland and Greece, with all the respect, then normally these quality players will play good games, although they did lose against Greece.
“If Trent plays against Finland, with the team-mates he has, you can play him in any position and he will always play a good game.
“Let’s hope he is going to be man of the match for us once in a while as well.”

“There will always be talk about our players. It is a good thing you ask about it because it means they do really well,” said Slot, who was once again non-committal on any news.
“If they had played badly then you probably wouldn’t have asked. But I cannot tell you anything about that at this time.”
