Slot's striker boost: Liverpool injury, suspension list for Brentford clash

Only boasting one win from their last four games in all competitions, Liverpool have some wrongs to right in Saturday's Premier League clash with Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.

The Reds were indebted to a pair of sensational Arne Slot substitutions on Tuesday evening, where Diogo Jota and Kostas Tsimikas scored and assisted respectively with their first touches in a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest.

Liverpool spurned several chances to snatch all three points at the City Ground, but they still possess an unassailable lead over Arsenal and Forest at the summit of the Premier League table and will have a game in hand on both teams by the time the weekend rolls around.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with the Bees, who heroically held Manchester City to a 2-2 stalemate on January 14.


Luis Diaz

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Illness Possible return date: January 18 (vs. Brentford)

Luis Diaz was unable to train on Thursday due to an illness, but Slot is optimistic that he will be fit to take on the Bees.


Diogo Jota

Status: Major doubt Type of injury: Unspecified Possible return date: January 18 (vs. Brentford)

In contrast, Diogo Jota is more of a doubt for the contest after sustaining a "niggle" in the draw with Nottingham Forest, but there is a chance that he could be available.


Joe Gomez

Status: Out Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: February 1 (vs. Bournemouth)

The Liverpool medical team are only looking after one player at the moment - hamstring victim Joe Gomez - who is still some weeks away from returning from the issue he suffered against West Ham United last month.


LIVERPOOL'S SUSPENSION LIST

Darwin Nunez is back from the one-game yellow card ban he served in midweek, meaning that Liverpool have no players suspended for this contest.
