Wataru Endo last played for Liverpool in a match against Sunderland in February. The defensive midfielder, who was playing as a substitute at right back, was removed from the field on a stretcher during the second half due to an ankle problem. Slot acknowledged at the time that Endo would be unavailable for a significant period. The player is now aiming to regain fitness before the upcoming World Cup with Japan. Given his few opportunities at Anfield, where he has mainly been used as a replacement player during squad shortages, it is considered probable that the 33-year-old will leave Liverpool this summer.
