NPFL: Enyimba set to sign Crown FC duo

Liverpool manager, Arne Slot, is likely to be without Hugo Ekitike for their Premier League trip to Arsenal on Thursday.

Ekitike is struggling with a muscle problem and did not play in the 2-2 draw with Fulham last weekend.

The Frenchman is now a big doubt for the heavyweight clash against the league leaders.

“He has not trained with us till now – let’s see if he can today,” Slot told reporters on Wednesday.

“I said two days ago before Fulham that he will not be out for long, but as the games come so fast, he is in between training with the team, or it may take him a few days extra.”

Liverpool go into the match 14 points behind Arsenal.
