October 1: Liverpool lost to Galatasaray 0-1 in this round of the Champions League. Slot talked about Ekitic's injury in a post-match interview.

Slott said: "He felt uncomfortable when he reached the ball. I think everyone remembered that round, and we were trying to create opportunities."

"At that moment, a player on the other side fell to the ground, so the referee stopped the game. I didn't realize at first that someone was injured, but Ekitic really felt uncomfortable."

"After the game, it was always difficult to judge this situation. The players may not feel that there is a big problem at the moment, but running, shooting, and walking in the game are two different things."

"Ekitic said he couldn't continue, so we could only replace him. As for whether he could play on the weekend (versus Chelsea), we have to see again."
