Isak is a doubt for Liverpool’s Premier League match against Brentford after a groin injury

Alexander Isak is a doubt for Liverpool’s Premier League match against Brentford on Saturday after suffering a groin injury against Eintracht Frankfurt this week.

The Sweden international – a record British signing – was withdrawn at half-time from Liverpool’s 5-1 win in the Champions League on Wednesday, but Reds manager Arne Slot suggested it was not a serious injury.

«Alex (is) not that bad. Question mark for the weekend. Let’s see where he stands,» Slot said on Friday.

Midfielder Ryan Gravenberch is also a doubt after being left out of the match against Frankfurt due to an unspecified problem, while Jeremy Frimpong is out with a hamstring injury.

“Jeremie is not in a good place,” Slot added. «He is certainly not going to play today, tomorrow or next week. Hamstring injury so that will take a while.»

Isak has made a slow start since his $170 million move from Newcastle in the off-season, with just one goal in 11 appearances for club and country.

Mohamed Salah has also struggled for form and has failed to score in his last six games for Liverpool, but Slot said he was confident the goals would come for the Egypt international.

«The last thing I worry about is that Mo will score goals again, because he has done that all his life and I expect that from him in the coming weeks and months for our club,» said Slot.
