Slot: Isak has groin problem
Arne Slot talks to TNT Sports. “We needed to win … what we needed more was another performance that created a load of chances but also the players get their reward … and that’s what happened today … I saw a lot of similarities to our other games … the first chance they got was a goal … maybe their only chance … but it is easier to control a game when you are 3-1 up rather than 1-0 down … the main difference between this game and the four before was in most of them, the other team scored a set piece but now we were able to score two … [Hugo Ekitiké] has done well every time he plays … I saw players working really hard.”
He also reports that Alexander Isak “had to go off at half-time because he felt his groin a little bit … that’s a pity … it’s such a difficult balance to find with a player who has missed three months … you bring him slowly … people argue to play him longer … now we play him for the second time in three days and he has to go off … let’s hope for the best.”
