How serious we don&#8217;t know yet because it still has to be assessed tomorrow, but it doesn&#8217;t look good.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not too sure [if it&#8217;s his ankle]. It&#8217;s his foot, but if it is his ankle or his foot, that is what we have to assess tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I assume he will be out for a long, long time. What is long, it is difficult to say at this moment but you can hardly believe what this right full-back position brings us this season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Published 7 hours ago <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u200c Published 7 hours ago By James Carroll at the Stadium of Light Arne Slot believes Wataru Endo&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":421294,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[607,608,59,596,603,598,609,611,610,134,602,601,597,606,599,604,101,600,56,54,55,605],"class_list":{"0":"post-421293","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-alisson","9":"tag-firmino","10":"tag-gb","11":"tag-homepage","12":"tag-klopp","13":"tag-lfc","14":"tag-lfc-news","15":"tag-lfctv","16":"tag-lfctv-go","17":"tag-liverpool-fc","18":"tag-liverpool-fc-match","19":"tag-liverpool-fc-news","20":"tag-liverpool-football-club","21":"tag-mane","22":"tag-reds","23":"tag-salah","24":"tag-sports","25":"tag-the-reds","26":"tag-uk","27":"tag-united-kingdom","28":"tag-unitedkingdom","29":"tag-van-dijk"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=421293"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421293\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/421294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=421293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=421293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=421293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
