Slot shared, "For me, there’s no issues to resolve. He is the same as any other player. You talk to your players if you are happy or unhappy with things. There is nothing for me to talk about after what happened against Leeds after the game."

He further added, "Yes. He is a Liverpool player, and when he is here, I like to use him when we need him. Today, he didn’t start as he did for a few games before, but in the one-and-a-half seasons before that, he started almost every game. He had the performance like you would want him to give."
