LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Alexander Isak is doubtful for Liverpool’s Premier League game at Brentford on Saturday after taking the field. groin injury This week they will face Eintracht Frankfurt.
Sweden representative — british records He was released from his contract at half-time of Liverpool’s 5-1 Champions League win on Wednesday, but Liverpool manager Arne Slott suggested it was not a serious injury.
“Alex is not too bad. There is a question mark for the weekend. Let’s see how he is,” Slott said Friday.
Midfielder Ryan Grabenbirch also missed the game against Frankfurt due to an unknown injury, and Jeremy Frimpong is also out with a hamstring injury, so this possibility is also suspected.
“Jeremy is not in a good situation,” Slott added. “He definitely won’t play today, tomorrow or next week. He has a hamstring injury so it’s going to take a while.”
Isak has had a slow start since arriving from Newcastle for $170 million in the off-season, scoring just one goal in 11 games for club and country.
Mohamed Salah has also been in poor form and has not scored in his last six games for Liverpool, but Slott said he was confident the Egyptian international would score.
“My biggest concern is that Mo is starting to score goals again, because that’s what he’s been doing all his life and I expect him to do that in the coming weeks and months for our club,” Slott said.
