\u201cIs there anything that surprises you when it comes to injuries with us this season?\u201d Slot said. \u201cMaybe I already envisaged it because I had two goalkeepers on the bench today, which I normally don\u2019t have but, of course, it has everything to do with the availability of all the other positions.<\/p>\n
\u201cGiorgi had to go to hospital with a big wound, so let\u2019s see how he will be. Freddie deserves a lot of credit\u2014coming in just after conceding at 1\u20131 and their fans were ready for it but he did his job really well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sight of Mamardashvili leaving on a stretcher was a worrying one for Liverpool<\/a> fans who, just days earlier, had seen striker Hugo Ekitik\u00e9 make the same exit with an Achilles injury<\/a> that has already ended his 2026. Fortunately, there are no signs to suggest Mamardashvili suffered anything remotely similar.<\/p>\n A nasty boot to the knee required treatment in hospital and it is not yet clear whether the Georgia international will need much more time on the sidelines. <\/p>\n Liverpool are back in action on Saturday, welcoming Crystal Palace to Anfield in a game that stands to have a huge impact on both teams\u2019 aspirations. Slot\u2019s side are hoping to build on their push for a Champions League spot, while Palace need three points to keep their slim hopes of a Conference League finish alive.<\/p>\n As it stands, Woodman is the only senior goalkeeper available to Liverpool. Slot joked he may soon have to take a look deep into the Reds\u2019 youth setup for numbers if the injury bug continues to tear through his squad.<\/p>\n \u201c[Woodman] has worked so hard to have this moment,\u201d Slot concluded. \u201cUsually, third goalkeepers don\u2019t play a lot, but in a season like ours, I think if you are playing in the Under-8s at Liverpool, you should be ready for making your debut because it is unbelievable what is happening to us.\u201d<\/p>\n
