On Tuesday, Joyce reported on X that Kostas Tsimikas is “facing a short spell on sidelines for Liverpool after injuring ankle in training.”
This update comes after David Lynch indicated uncertainty about the defender’s return, making it likely he’ll miss the upcoming matches against Real Madrid and Manchester City.
Tsimikas’ absence could extend to games against Newcastle, Everton, and Girona, depending on his recovery timeline.
This puts additional pressure on Andy Robertson, who will need to stay fit and step up his performance after a challenging game against Southampton, where he conceded a penalty and struggled defensively.
While the situation is far from ideal for Slot, he has managed previous injury challenges without compromising results.
Fortunately, Joyce’s update suggests Tsimikas’ absence will be brief, and fans can hope to see him back in
