Summary

Liverpool has received a significant boost with the returns of Alexander Isak and Dominik Szoboszlai for their upcoming match against unbeaten Brentford in the Premier League.

Both players missed recent fixtures against Manchester City and LASK due to injuries sustained during the international break but have now fully recovered and are set to start in west London.

Key changes to the lineup include:

  • Isak and Szoboszlai replacing Lewis Koumas and Trey Nyonyi from the squad that triumphed 6-3 in Austria.
  • Virgil van Dijk, Alexis Mac Allister, and Victor Munoz also make their returns.

The squad sees the absence of Ryan Gravenberch, who is suspended, and winger Rio Ngumoha. Manager Andoni Iraola implements five changes as Liverpool gears up for their return to Premier League action.

Additionally, Cody Gakpo returns to the bench following an injury sustained while on international duty with the Netherlands last month.

On the Brentford side, Kevin Schade, their top scorer this season, is only fit enough to start on the bench after suffering a shoulder injury during the 2-2 draw against Aston Villa last week.

Former Liverpool centre-back Sepp van den Berg returns from injury to start, and goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher is set to face his former team.

More updates are expected as the match approaches.
