Liverpool’s injury crisis deepens as Arne Slot faces another major selection headache before the Premier League encounter with Brentford.
Jeremie Frimpong has suffered yet another hamstring setback, ruling him out for several weeks after limping off during the Champions League victory over Eintracht Frankfurt.
“Jeremie’s situation doesn’t look good. He’ll be out for a while — definitely not playing this week or the next,” Slot admitted during his pre-match briefing.
Adding to the manager’s worries, club-record signing Alexander Isak is now a doubt after feeling discomfort in his groin during the same match, while Ryan Gravenberch—who missed the Frankfurt trip with an ankle issue—remains uncertain for Saturday’s tie and will undergo late fitness checks.
Liverpool are already coping without Alisson Becker, sidelined with a hamstring problem, and promising youngster Giovanni Leoni, who will miss the rest of the season following ACL surgery.
With three new concerns piling onto an already stretched squad, Slot’s options ahead of Brentford are looking increasingly thin.
