Liverpool team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Brentford

Liverpool injury, suspension list vs. Brentford

Liverpool will be out to snap a two-game winless run when they welcome Brentford to Anfield for Sunday afternoon's Premier League battle.

The Reds left it late to rescue a 1-1 draw with Luton Town in their most recent top-flight outing, as Luis Diaz came off the bench to head home a dramatic injury-time leveller.

However, there would be no late reprieve for Jurgen Klopp's side in a 3-2 loss to Toulouse in Thursday's Europa League tie, where Jarell Quansah had a last-minute strike ruled out for an Alexis Mac Allister handball.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with the Bees, who coincidentally sunk West Ham United 3-2 in their last Premier League affair.


Virgil van Dijk

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Illness Possible return date: November 12 (vs. Brentford)

Virgil van Dijk's presence was certainly missed in midweek as the Dutchman sat out the loss to Toulouse through illness, but Klopp is confident that his captain will return for the visit of Brentford.


Ryan Gravenberch

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Knee Possible return date: November 12 (vs. Brentford)

Similarly, Ryan Gravenberch could potentially return to the squad this weekend after a knee problem kept him out of Thursday's game, but he is more of a doubt than Van Dijk and may not be risked before the international break.


Curtis Jones

Status: Out Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: November 25 (vs. Manchester City)

Curtis Jones picked up a minor hamstring injury against Bournemouth in the EFL Cup, which will rule him out of this game, but Klopp expects him to be 100% once the international break concludes.


Andrew Robertson

Status: Out Type of injury: Shoulder Possible return date: January 1 (vs. Newcastle United)

Andrew Robertson is on the long road to recovery from a shoulder operation, having suffered a nasty dislocation while playing for Scotland last month, and the left-back will not play again until the New Year.


Thiago Alcantara

Status: Out Type of injury: Hip Possible return date: January 1 (vs. Newcastle United)

Thiago Alcantara has an identical timeframe as he battles back from the troublesome hip injury which has sidelined him since April, but his return has already been delayed by a couple of setbacks.


Stefan Bajcetic

Status: Out Type of injury: Calf Possible return date: Unknown

Stefan Bajcetic was initially sidelined with a "minor" calf problem earlier in the autumn, but his problem is proving far more serious than first feared, and Klopp cannot say when the teenager will return to action.


LIVERPOOL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Alexis Mac Allister

Return date: November 25 (vs. Manchester City)

Alexis Mac Allister was cautioned for the fifth time in the Premier League this season during the draw with Luton Town, and the Argentine will watch Sunday's game from the naughty step.
