Goalkeeper Alisson and forward Ekitike both went off with issues during the second half of the Reds’ midweek Champions League defeat at Galatasaray.
Federico Chiesa, meanwhile, did not travel to Turkiye for that match due to a minor issue.
“Alisson is not a part of the squad tomorrow,” Slot said at his pre-match press conference at the AXA Training Centre on Friday morning.
“And he’s not going to travel to Brazil as well for the national team. So, he will be out for Saturday.
“Hugo is going to train today again and let’s see where he is, and the same can be said for Federico. We have to wait and see after the session where exactly they are.”
Asked about a timescale for Alisson’s return, Slot added: “That depends also on how fast a recovery goes. So, Saturday it’s clear, he’s not going to play for Brazil, and I would be surprised if he would be there in the first game after the international break.
“But from there on, sometimes things can go a bit faster or a bit slower. It’s always difficult to say the amount of days and weeks, but for the upcoming games he will not be part of us or the Brazil team.”
