Everything that could go wrong for Liverpool in the first half of Saturday's game with Brighton did go wrong, as key defender Ibrahima Konate was withdrawn at half time due to an arm injury, which left him in severe pain as he used his shirt as a makeshift sling.
Slot is waiting to learn how severe the Frenchman's problem is, but Joe Gomez will surely step in from the first whistle on Tuesday, where Alisson Becker (hamstring), Harvey Elliott (foot), Federico Chiesa (fitness) and Diogo Jota (abdominal) will watch on from the sidelines.
Overtaking Robbie Fowler into eighth place in the all-time Premier League scoring charts on Saturday, Salah could now become the first player in 21 years to score in six straight Champions League home games for an English club, after Ruud van Nistelrooy did so for Manchester United in 2023.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Jones, Diaz; Nunez
Bayer Leverkusen
Konate was not the only French defender to succumb to an injury last time out, as Leverkusen wing-back Nordi Mukiele hurt his thigh in the draw with Stuttgart and is now expected to remain out until after the international break.
Mukiele joins Amine Adli (broken leg) and Jeanuel Belocian (foot) in the Leverkusen infirmary, while Martin Terrier was also unavailable for Friday's Bundesliga game, but Alonso has expressed hope that he will be available for the Anfield trip.
Terrier returning would allow Jeremie Frimpong to cover Mukiele on the right, while attacking stalwart Florian Wirtz bids to become the third 21 or under player - after Erling Haaland and Manor Solomon - to score in each of his first three Champions League appearances on the road.
Bayer Leverkusen possible starting lineup:
Hradecky; Tapsoba, Tah, Hincapie; Frimpong, Xhaka, Garcia, Grimaldo; Terrier, Wirtz; Boniface
Prediction: Liverpool 1-1 Bayer Leverkusen
