It could be that January reinforcements are added to the Reds’ squad, allowing them to compete on multiple fronts, with the winter window set to remain open until February 2.
Slot told reporters when asked if he is looking to bolster his ranks, with Jeremie Frimpong the latest Reds star to pick up an untimely injury: “We as a club always make decisions that we, at least, think [are] smart decisions. So, we not only look at the short term, we also look at the long term, longer term – that’s why we sign young players as well, very good players but young ones that can still develop.
“Now we can see this development with a few. And it always depends on are there players available that we think can help us? And if they are, can we afford them? And does this also be helpful for the longer-term future because our players come back from injury as well?”
Liverpool, who have slipped to sixth in the Premier League table, will be back in domestic action on Saturday when playing host to Newcastle.
