Overview
- Arne Slot said Jeremie Frimpong has a hamstring injury that rules him out for weeks, Alexander Isak has a groin issue and is a doubt, and Alisson’s recovery will take longer.
- Ryan Gravenberch, who missed the Frankfurt trip with an ankle problem, will undergo a late fitness check ahead of the Brentford match.
- Mohamed Salah is on a six-game scoreless run and was dropped in midweek, but Slot called his return to scoring the “last thing” he worries about and welcomed the player’s visible frustration.
- Liverpool halted a four-game losing streak with a 5-1 win at Eintracht Frankfurt, where Hugo Ekitike scored and Florian Wirtz delivered his most influential display since joining.
- With injuries and recent rotation, selection decisions tighten for the Brentford trip during a congested stretch as pundits debate Salah’s form and the bedding-in of summer signings.
