The Reds visit Amex Stadium on Monday night for their final away game of the season, which will take place eight days after their previous outing – the 2-2 draw with Arsenal at Anfield.

With the title already secured, Slot granted his players four days off this week and the squad then reconvened at the AXA Training Centre on Friday.

During his pre-match press conference, the head coach said: "Today [Friday] is the first day we come back together.

"We feel this is also a very good lead-up to our game on Monday, because I have said before that it is quite difficult for a team that already won the league to train so many days in a row if you've already won something.

"So you need to find the balance between days off and preparing very well for the next game. So, we train today, tomorrow and Sunday, that's three days in a row to be very well prepared for Brighton.

"Keep in mind that these players never had a few days off during the season because we were in the FA Cup, League Cup and Champions League – and of course the Premier League – for a long time.

"So where other teams maybe had a few days off during the season, we hardly ever had that."

Fabian Hurzeler told reporters: "Lewis will be back in the squad, Joel will be back in the squad. That's all very positive news.

"Kaoru had some small, minor issues, so hopefully it will also be a possibility for us [to have him] in the squad. So, overall very positive and we have more options to select.

"Igor is also part of the squad for sure. James is doing rehab on the pitch, so he's getting closer. I'm not sure if we will see him this season but it's a nice process what he's going through.

"Georginio Rutter is also very close, so hopefully he will be back next week with the team. So, there's a small chance, like I said from the beginning, that he can be an option for the end of the season for the last game."
