Slot — on the early substitution of Kerkes: “Milos received a yellow card. I wasn’t sure about him”

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot explained why he decided to substitute Milos Kerkes in the first half of the match of the 4th round of the Premier League against Burnley.

— The main reason is that Milos received a yellow card. I think the Burnley fans thought their chance to win depended on us being left with ten players. With Kerkes, I cannot be a hundred percent sure that he won’t commit the next foul. Therefore, I understood that we could lose by being left with ten players,” said Arne Slot.

It should be added that after 4 rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool is in first place with 12 points.
