Arne Slot has admitted the "last thing" Liverpool need this season is another injury after midfielder Wataru Endo was stretchered off against Sunderland.

It's an all-Premier League FA Cup encounter at Anfield on Saturday as Liverpool hosts Brighton in this fourth-round clash. The Reds saw off League One Barnsley in the previous round 4-1, and got back to winning ways in the Premier League on Wednesday with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

Arne Slot has provided a definitive Wataru Endo injury update ahead of Liverpool’s FA Cup meeting with Brighton at Anfield, confirming the Japan international faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

It was not a night for guile and finesse, but Liverpool showed the determination they've been missing in a win over Sunderland.
