Liverpool: Arne Slot reveals major new injury doubt for Brentford clash in fresh blow Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has emerged as a doubt to face Brentford in the Premier League this weekend.
Jota was sent on in place of Andy Robertson with 25 minutes to play at the City Ground and his side trailing 1-0 to Chris Wood’s early effort, before he swiftly headed home from a corner delivered by fellow impactful substitute Kostas Tsimikas.
Jota’s absence would be keenly felt by Liverpool after he scored just 22 seconds after coming off the bench to secure a vital point for the top-flight leaders in their battling 1-1 draw at high-flying Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night.
Arne Slot confirmed at his pre-match press conference on Friday that the Portuguese international was struggling with a fresh knock that had prevented him from training in the build-up to their Saturday trip to west London.
Liverpool will wait to see if he is able to take any part on Friday before making a final decision on his availability for the game at the Gtech Community Stadium.
