NewsHugo Ekitike fitness update ahead of Arsenal v Liverpool

Ekitike missed last Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Fulham due to DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) and ahead of Thursday’s game at Emirates Stadium, Slot said: “He has not trained with us until now and let’s see if he can today [Wednesday].

“I’ve said, I think, two or three days ago when we played Fulham that he is not going to be out for long but because games come so fast he is in between maybe training with the team or it would take him one or two days extra.”
