Discussing the current condition of his team, Arne Slot confirmed that Jeremie Frimpong has picked up a hamstring injury which will sideline him for at least the next two matches. Meanwhile, Alexander Isak and Ryan Gravenberch are still doubtful for the weekend\u2019s fixture.<\/p>\n
To make matters worse, first-choice goalkeeper Alisson is set to remain out longer than initially anticipated.<\/p>\n
Arne Slot confirms Frimpong\u2019s injury setback
\nSlot was direct about the situation, saying:
\n\u201cJeremie isn\u2019t in a good place\u2026 it\u2019s a hamstring injury, so it\u2019ll take some time,\u201d he admitted, confirming that the defender will miss both the Brentford match and next week\u2019s games, according to Ben Jacobs.<\/p>\n
As for Isak and Gravenberch, who have each had fitness issues this season, Slot added:
\n\u201cAlex, not too bad. He\u2019s a question mark for the weekend\u2026 and it\u2019s the same with Ryan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both players are still being monitored, with their availability to be determined after final training sessions.<\/p>\n
Isak was withdrawn at halftime during the Champions League tie against Eintracht Frankfurt, continuing his difficult start at the Merseyside club following his record-breaking summer transfer.<\/p>\n
Alisson\u2019s absence continues
\n\u201cAlisson is not in the squad tomorrow. That\u2019s going to take a bit longer as well,\u201d Slot confirmed.<\/p>\n
In his absence, Liverpool will once again turn to Giorgio Mamardashvili in goal. If the Reds can handle this period with careful rotation and strong discipline, they\u2019ll have a good chance of maintaining momentum until their key players return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
