Arne Slot on Wataru Endo: “I really liked him against West Ham and what I respect about him is his personality.”

“Two times he had to come in with only five minutes to go, and in my managerial career I sometimes see players who come in five minutes before have a [downturned] face and play like that [too].”

“But every time when we needed him, even if it was for five minutes, he shows up for the team and for himself.”

“So, I think also for that reason, he deserves to play tomorrow.”

Endo lacks a chance to fight this season. He played 83 minutes in the EFL cup and only 3 minutes in the Premier League.
