Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has emerged as a doubt to face Brentford in the Premier League this weekend.
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.
“It’s not sure Jota will be available [for Brentford],” Reds boss Slot told reporters. “He felt a niggle, he didn’t train yesterday [Thursday], we have to wait and see if he’s available today.”
