Liverpool prepares for an FA Cup clash against Plymouth Argyle while addressing off-field concerns, including potential departures of Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota, and a recent injury to loanee midfielder Stefan Bajcetic.
Liverpool will continue their FA Cup journey this season with a trip to Championship side Plymouth Argyle on Sunday. The Reds secured a comfortable 4-0 victory over Accrington Stanley in the third round at Anfield and will be aiming for a similar outcome at Home Park. But amidst the anticipation for the cup clash, Liverpool finds itself navigating several off-field developments that have captured attention.
Reports suggest that manager Arne Slot is planning a significant reshuffling of the team's forward line during the summer transfer window. Specific targets for departure include Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota. Anfield Watch claims that both attackers have fallen short of expectations and 'frustrated' Slot this season. Diaz, initially a shining star in the early stages of the season, has seemingly been overtaken by Gakpo in the pecking order. Jota, plagued by injuries, has managed only seven Premier League starts this season. These factors have led to speculation that Slot might consider parting ways with the duo at the season's end.Adding to Liverpool's concerns, loanee midfielder Stefan Bajcetic suffered an injury setback during his first start for La Liga club Las Palmas on Saturday. After his temporary move to RB Salzburg was prematurely terminated, Bajcetic joined Las Palmas on loan for the remainder of the season. Unfortunately, his outing lasted only 78 minutes as Las Palmas fell to a 2-1 defeat against Villarreal. Head coach Diego Martinez commented on Bajcetic's injury, stating, 'Like Stefan, they are players who, for one reason or another, have not trained for a long time and have not had continuity in training. 'In principle, they are normal overloads that have gone up in the femoral muscles, but they have to wait, although it's as if nothing had happened.'
