Liverpool boss Arne Slot thinks clubs in Europe should get more allowances

“The time at 12.30 is no problem at all but if you play so shortly after playing on a Wednesday evening, fortunately it was a home game, that might be something we should take into consideration."

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has re-evaluated his opinion on Saturday lunchtime kick-offs in the wake of Alisson Becker’s injury and believes more allowances should be given to teams playing in the Champions League.

The Brazil goalkeeper is set for several weeks out after sustaining a hamstring injury in the 12.30pm start at Crystal Palace immediately before the international break, a game which came less than 63 hours after their victory over Bologna.
