🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Amazing news has been confirmed for Liverpool before the Brentford match.
Brentford are preparing to host Liverpool this weekend, but they’ll have to do so with a significantly depleted squad.
As noted on Liverpool’s official website, Brentford head coach Thomas Frank confirmed during Thursday’s press conference: “It’s the same squad as Tuesday. Everyone who was available for the Manchester City game is available again. There are no new injuries.”
Despite this, the Bees remain without key players Kristoffer Ajer, Josh Dasilva, Aaron Hickey, Gustavo Nunes, Ethan Pinnock, and Igor Thiago, all sidelined due to injury. This presents a significant challenge for Thomas Frank, who must devise a strategy to take on the league leaders while managing his squad’s limitations.
Liverpool are not without their own injury concerns heading into the match at the Gtech Community Stadium. Manager Arne Slot addressed the media and revealed that Diogo Jota is doubtful after picking up a minor issue during his substitute appearance against Nottingham Forest earlier in the week. Additionally, Luis Diaz missed training due to illness, and it remains uncertain whether he will be fit to face Brentford.
There is also the longer-term absence of Joe Gomez, leaving the Liverpool boss with his own challenges in assembling a competitive squad.
Even with these difficulties, Liverpool face a tough test against a Brentford side that boasts one of the strongest home records in the Premier League. Considering Liverpool’s recent form—just one win in their last five games—this promises to be a challenging and closely contested fixture.
