Quotes
Arne Slot
Liverpool head coach
“Isak has been out for a few weeks now, and that's meant Ekitike had to play more minutes than the previous part of the season.”
livemint.com
“That's led to him picking up a slight hamstring injury, and for a player of his age, not completely used to the Premier League, that's been a bit too much.”
