Former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf has cautioned Liverpool manager Arne Slot that he risks losing the support of four of his players due to his selection choices.
Leboeuf identified the players as Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Curtis Jones, and Federico Chiesa.
He issued this warning following Liverpool's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday.
“If he [Arne Slot] continues like this, he is going to lose the bench,” Leboeuf told ESPN FC.
“The players who came on against Manchester United – Frimpong, Jones, Ekitike, and Chiesa – they put in a lot of effort, and they see others being chosen by the coach based on their price tag.
“That is something for which he can be held accountable; he could lose the players who are currently in top form, especially Ekitike.”
The result of the Manchester United match leaves Liverpool in third place, behind Arsenal and Manchester City.
