Diogo Jota, Joe Gomez and Darwin Nunez are all in contention to return to Liverpool’s squad for the upcoming Premier League game against Bournemouth. Liverpool head coach Arne Slot confirmed that all three would train with the rest of the first team today and a decision will be made on whether to involve them.
Baller League, a six-a-side football competition backed by a range of influencers and former footballers, has picked up new investment from venture firm Apex and a group of Premier League stars.
Darwin Nunez was added to the ‘missing’ list on Wednesday having been struck down with illness before facing PSV. With Gomez returning to training earlier in the week, Slot was asked whether the defender is ready to face Bournemouth on Saturday and also if Jota and Nunez will be available for selection.
Liverpool star Diogo Jota heaped praise on Mohamed Salah in an exclusive interview with ESPN, saying he should be considered one of the greatest players in the club's history.

Diogo Jota is a huge fan favourite on the pitch at Liverpool, now midway through his fifth season at the club. He has been a part of very good sides under Jurgen Klopp and now Arne Slot, though he has not achieved the team success his career has perhaps deserved.
Federico Chiesa has yet to start a Premier League game for Liverpool since his transfer from Serie A side Juventus and coach Arne Slot said the Italian forward was now ready to play more minutes but faces some fierce competition.
Jota spoke about his time playing alongside Matip. The striker says that Matip was an outstanding player who he really misses playing alongside. Matip left Liverpool on a free transfer at the end of last season, and while West Ham considered signing Matip, he has since retired from football.

Liverpool are doing well at the moment and after being given the fortune of resting players on Wednesday, Arne Slot didn’t want any new injury concerns.
Liverpool were linked with Simons over the summer, but Head of Global Soccer Jurgen Klopp has moved to disrupt Slot’s plans and tie the Netherlands international down with Red Bull. However, Simons’ deal at Leipzig will only run until 2027. Slightly strange for a player who has reportedly cost them an initial £42m.
