- On Wednesday, Galatasaray winger Noa Lang suffered a severed thumb after colliding with metal-edged advertising hoardings at Anfield during Liverpool's 4-0 Champions League victory.

- Whether legal action succeeds remains uncertain, though Davies noted Liverpool will likely emphasize their compliance with all relevant safety guidance and legislation regarding stadium maintenance.
