Image Credits: Imago ImagesLiverpool have been hampered by injuries throughout the campaign and have picked up two fresh concerns ahead of the final Premier League match.Alexander Isak and Jeremie Frimpong both missed Friday night’s 4-2 defeat to Aston Villa after failing to travel, adding to Liverpool’s growing injury list.The result means Liverpool must wait until the final day of the season to secure Champions League qualification, with Slot hoping for key returns when Brentford visit Anfield.Isak, Liverpool’s £125m striker, was absent from the squad as he continues to manage injury issues.
He featured for 23 minutes against Chelsea after coming on for Rio Ngumoha, who had to be withdrawn after cramp.Ngumoha has since recovered and played the full 90 minutes against Aston Villa. There is optimism Isak could return for the Brentford clash, along with goalkeeper Alisson, who has resumed training after being sidelined since mid-March following the 4-0 win over Galatasaray.Slot said of Isak ahead of the Villa match: “Alex is out – minor injury.
I expect him to train with us this week, but I cannot give any guarantees.”Mohamed Salah also returned from injury against Aston Villa and is expected to feature in what could be his final appearance at Anfield next Sunday.Florian Wirtz made his comeback at Villa Park after missing the previous match at Old Trafford, but Frimpong was ruled out with a suspected muscular problem.Hugo Ekitike, Giovanni Leoni, Wataru Endo and Conor Bradley remain sidelined. Slot will be encouraged by the return of Salah and Wirtz, while Alisson’s availability could be crucial after Giorgi Mamardashvili’s difficult outing against Aston Villa.Brentford also face injury concerns, with Rico Henry out since March due to a hamstring issue, while former Liverpool midfielder Fabio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo remain sidelined with ACL injuries.
