Liverpool's record signing Alexander Isak faces a race against time to recover from a groin problem he sustained in midweek. Manager Arne Slot expressed concerns about Isak's availability for the upcoming Premier League clash with Brentford, highlighting the importance of the striker's potential return to the squad.

In addition to Isak's injury, Liverpool's Jeremie Frimpong has been sidelined with a hamstring injury. This adds to Slot's selection woes as he aims to field a competitive lineup against Brentford. Frimpong's absence will require Slot to explore alternative options in defense.

Liverpool's first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker continues to be unavailable, adding to the injury concerns within the squad. Slot will need to rely on backup options to fill the void left by Alisson's absence, as the club navigates through a challenging period of injuries.

Midfielder Ryan Gravenberch faces a late fitness check ahead of the Brentford fixture, further complicating Slot's team selection process. Gravenberch's potential availability could provide a much-needed boost to Liverpool's midfield, offering Slot more options in the center of the park.
