Fit from bench
Ekitike (back) is on the bench for Sunday's match against West Ham.
ANALYSIS
Ekitike is with his team Sunday after some uncertainty around the player, appearing to have passed his testing to earn a spot on the team sheet. He will now look at continuing to win the forward battle over Alexander Isak, as Ekitike has started in six of their past seven games, although Isak starts in his place Sunday.

Dealing with back issue
Ekitike contributed a season high four shots in the Champions League before being forced off in the 61st minute of Wednesdays 4-1 defeat against PSV due to a back issue, coach Arne Slot said in a press conference, according to the Liverpool Echo. "It felt as if he couldn't move as he did [in] the first half. So, that's why our press was, I think, also a little bit off. And he just told me that in the first five to 10 minutes of the first half he already felt his back too much. That's also why he had to go out."
