Liverpool boss Arne Slot has officially excluded two first-team players from the squad heading to face AC Milan next week, confirming: “They’re no longer in my plans… the board wanted me to accommodate them but this is my decision, and there’s no going back.”
Sources say both players submitted transfer requests earlier this month, which Slot viewed as a betrayal. Despite board efforts to reverse the decision, the Dutchman stood firm, signalling a ruthless approach in his new era.
Though the players remain unnamed, one is believed to be a senior attacker, the other a promising midfielder. Their futures now appear uncertain as Slot shapes a squad defined by full commitment.
