LONDON: Liverpool will likely be without striker Alexander Isak, manager Arne Slot said, when they travel to Brentford on Saturday looking to turn around their three-game Premier League losing streak.

The Sweden striker is “not too bad” but is a “question mark” after sustaining a groin injury in Wednesday’s 5-1 Champions League victory over Eintracht Frankfurt. Midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, who missed the Frankfurt match with an ankle issue, is also a doubt.
Slot defended forward Mohamed Salah, who finished as the Premier League’s top scorer last season but has become a target for some fan criticism for his recent drop in form.
“Players miss chances and he is a human being. We are not used to him missing chances,” Slot said of Salah, who has three goals in 12 games this season, across all competitions.
