Liverpool will be limping in their visit to the San Siro to face Inter Milan on Wednesday at 03.00 WIB in this season's Champions League match.
In addition to their poor form, having won just three of their 15 matches in all competitions, Liverpool will also be without four players: Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Federico Chiesa, and Wataru Endo.
"Federico was ill, so you could say the timing wasn't right. But it's not something we can do anything about," Slot said at a press conference on Liverpool's website on Tuesday.
"Cody Gakpo picked up an injury in our last game against Leeds and will be out for a few weeks," he added.
Salah was the most highlighted player because he was absent due to the interview he gave after the match against Leeds United on Sunday.
In the interview, Salah made controversial comments, such as his disappointment after being benched for three consecutive matches, then revealed that his relationship with Slot "has nothing to do" at the moment, and admitted that "there are people who don't want me at this club".
