Last week, Jarell Quansah was taken off the field at half-time during Liverpool's match against Ipswich Town. Today, the team is gearing up to face Brentford in the Premier League, hoping to secure their second consecutive win. In their last game, they were able to defeat Ipswich Town 2-0, with Mohamed Salah scoring and assisting the other goal at Portman Road. Their new coach, Arne Slot, was happy to see his team start off the season with a win, especially with Salah's impressive performance.
Slot has a mostly healthy team to choose from, with Quansah being the only concern due to an injury. The 21-year-old was in the starting lineup alongside Virgil van Dijk last week, but was replaced by Ibrahima Konate at half-time. Slot explained that it was a tactical decision, as he felt the team needed Konate's physicality after losing too many duels in the first half. Despite being taken off, Quansah's reaction impressed the coach. However, he sustained a knock during training this week, which puts his availability for today's match against Brentford in doubt.
According to Slot, he spoke to Quansah after the game last week and even the following day. The young player asked if he could train on Sunday, instead of doing recovery as usual. Unfortunately, he picked up an injury on Tuesday, which prevented him from training on Wednesday. The coach is hoping that he will be able to train today and be available for the match.
In the previous game, Diogo Jota scored a goal and is expected to lead the attack once again, with Darwin Nunez waiting for his chance on the bench. Joe Gomez was not included in the squad that travelled to Ipswich, as he is considering his options amid transfer interest from several clubs. However, Slot has stated that Gomez will be considered for selection today, as he believes the player's head is in the right place.
The predicted lineup for Liverpool today includes Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Salah, Jota, and Diaz. The match is set to kick off at 4:30pm and will be broadcasted on Sky Sports Premier League and Main Event. Fans can tune in to watch the action live.
