Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has said Marc Guehi missed the pre-season friendly against Crawley Town through injury. Liverpool are interested in the England international, 25, with less than 12 months remaining on his current contract.

Hugo Ekitike is now widely expected to join Liverpool from Eintracht Frankfurt in a move worth around £79m. Slot will hope that the centre-forward can share the goal-scoring burden with Mohamed Salah, who exclusively shouldered most of that responsibility last term.
