NewsWataru Endo injury update

The Japan international was stretchered off in the second half of the Premier League encounter at the Stadium of Light on Wednesday after making a crucial clearance inside the box.

Speaking at his post-match press conference, Slot said: "Yes, it's a serious one. How serious we don't know yet because it still has to be assessed tomorrow, but it doesn't look good.

"I'm not too sure [if it's his ankle]. It's his foot, but if it is his ankle or his foot, that is what we have to assess tomorrow.

"I assume he will be out for a long, long time. What is long, it is difficult to say at this moment but you can hardly believe what this right full-back position brings us this season."
