Arne Slot has said that if Liverpool had a squad of 24 or 25 players they could not have afforded the big buys they have made this summer as he explained why he might not go into the transfer market to replace the injured Giovanni Leoni.
The 18-year-old defender has been ruled out for a year with an anterior cruciate ligament problem he sustained on his Liverpool debut this week and Slot admitted it is a “risk” to only have one centre-back in reserve.
