Liverpool boss Arne Slot has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Fulham at Anfield (17:30 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Slot confirmed no players will return from injury to face Fulham, adding that Alisson is "working hard to find his way back into the squad" which is "really positive" but he "won't be available this weekend".
On Alexander Isak, who made his first appearance since recovering from a broken leg in Wednesday's 2-0 Champions League defeat by Paris St-Germain: "That Alex is available for us again is vital of course because I said many times that it was hard for us to convert chances into goals and he's been a goalscorer his whole life. We're hoping after a great rehab period he had, we can bring him up to the level faster."
Slot was asked about the announcement that Andy Robertson will leave the club at the end of the season: "He's had many great seasons here, not only as a player but as a great person as well. I got to know him as a great person. Every team-mate of his will tell you how funny he is, how great he is and I think that's been shown on social media as well. But what I remember most about him is the intensity he plays with". He's won everything at this club, served his club and really loves this club. It has been a great nine years for him."
Is Robertson leaving to get more first-team football opportunities: "This season he didn't play as much as he was used to and as a result of that he's leaving. I think that's a question you have to ask him. But I think everyone wants as much first-team football as possible."
Slot was asked if he feels support from the clubs' hierarchy amid a difficult run: "I'm repeating myself a lot but I feel a lot of support. Not only from the owners but from Richard [Hughes] and Michael [Edwards], a lot of support from them as well but as weird as it might sound I also feel the support from the fans. I've said many times, the club knows the period of time we're in and in the meantime I feel complete support."
On moving onto Fulham after the PSG defeat: "If there's anything positive from the Paris St-Germain game it is that we faced the champions of Europe and we experienced on that evening that we were not on the level we should have been. Yesterday was a recovery day so we need to see where a few of our players are. I've said that a few of our players are not capable of playing another intense game three days later so, let's see what the line-up brings."
Slot said the Reds' next few games can be "defining", adding: "It's normal at the end of the season – not only for us but for all of the teams – these are defining moments. Two massive games in the league coming up, then four more after that and hopefully more in the Champions League. But first to focus is on Fulham."
