Ekitike felt a pain in his leg after making a tackle, and although he initially thought it was not a serious issue, he was unable to continue playing. Slot will assess Ekitike's condition before making a final decision on his availability for the Chelsea match.

Goalkeeper Alisson also left the pitch during the game after feeling a problem when sprinting back to defend. Slot expressed concern about Alisson's injury, stating that he fears the worst and expects him to miss the Chelsea game. Alisson will likely be sidelined for the upcoming match, with Slot estimating a 99.9% chance of him not being available.
