Reds could be seven DOWN for Tottenham

LIVERPOOL could be left without as many as seven senior players when they travel to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

Arne Slot bemoaned only having 13 available outfield players ahead of the Reds' clash with Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend.

And while a Hugo Ekitike brace was enough to see Slot's side run out 2-0 winners, the victory came at a price as the Dutchman also saw his options depleted further.

Joe Gomez was forced off midway through the first half with a hamstring injury, while Dominik Szoboszlai limped off late on after injuring his ankle. And while Mohamed Salah came on to replace the former, Liverpool will now be without the Egyptian, too, after he departed for Africa Cup of Nations duty.
