Arne Slot has provided an update on the condition of Giorgi Mamardashvili after the goalkeeper was forced off injured during Liverpool\u2019s dramatic derby win over Everton.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old Georgian has been Liverpool\u2019s first-choice goalkeeper since Alisson<\/a> was sidelined with a hamstring injury last month. However, Mamardashvili<\/a> now faces a spell on the sidelines himself after being stretchered off by Liverpool\u2019s medical staff following Everton\u2019s equaliser in the second half.<\/p>\n The incident occurred when Everton<\/a> striker Beto levelled the score with a close-range finish in the 54th minute, colliding with Mamardashvili as he and Andy Robertson challenged for the ball in the aftermath. Mamardashvili\u2019s injury forced third-choice goalkeeper Freddie Woodman into action for the remainder of the match. Everton also suffered an injury blow as Jarrad Branthwaite was stretchered off.<\/a><\/p>\n READ MORE: Virgil van Dijk leaves Mohamed Salah emotional with Liverpool tribute after Everton win<\/a>READ MORE: Premier League explains VAR decision before Mohamed Salah makes history vs Everton<\/a><\/p>\n Woodman, who has previously played in the Premier League<\/a> for clubs including Newcastle United and Bournemouth, joined Liverpool from Preston North End last summer and had made just one appearance prior to this season\u2019s Carabao Cup defeat to Crystal Palace in October.<\/p>\n Speaking to BBC’s Match of the Day, Slot said the keeper was immediately taken to hospital. “It didn’t look great, it was a big wound and he went straight to the hospital. Let’s see how that works out for him but fear worst – not for a long-term injury but for next week” said the Dutchman.<\/p>\n Shortly after the incident, former Everton winger Pat Nevin on BBC Radio 5 Live at Hill Dickinson Stadium said: “Giorgi Mamardashvili really did feel there was something wrong with his knee there. Freddie Woodman is third choice but he is coming on.” While Chris Sutton on Sky Sports added: “Arne Slot<\/a> has a couple of keepers on the bench so it was a decision for him! But it’s not good for Mamardashvili, whether it was Beto on the follow-through or Robertson.”<\/p>\n Slot will be hoping the injury to Mamardashvili is not serious, with Liverpool already contending with a growing list of absentees. Conor Bradley, Giovanni Leoni and Wataru Endo remain sidelined with long-term injuries, while Hugo Ekitike is also out for the rest of the season and set to miss this summer\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n Giorgi Mamardashvili was taken straight to hospital after bein stretchered off<\/p>\n Virgil van Dijk struck a dramatic 101st-minute winner as Liverpool edged the first derby at Everton\u2019s new stadium, having earlier taken the lead through Mohamed Salah.<\/p>\n Everton believed it had gone ahead in the first half when Iliman Ndiaye found the net, but VAR ruled the effort out for offside.
