Liverpool’s training session at the AXA Training Centre today saw the squad engaging in rigorous workouts both in the gym and out on the field. This session marked the beginning of their preparations for an upcoming fixture against Brentford on Saturday.
The Reds have a chance to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table with a victory in this match. There’s optimism surrounding the potential return of Mo Salah to the match-day squad after a six-week absence due to a hamstring injury sustained during the African Cup of Nations.
Good news also emerged regarding the return of Alisson Becker, Joe Gomez, and Conor Bradley. Becker and Gomez have recovered from illness, while Bradley rejoins the squad after being granted compassionate leave following a personal tragedy. Additionally, Ibrahima Konate is available again after serving a one-match suspension.
However, concerns remain about the availability of some players. Trent Alexander-Arnold, who recently suffered a knee injury, was not spotted during training and will undergo further assessment. Updates on his condition are expected during Jurgen Klopp’s pre-match press conference.
Dominik Szoboszlai is also doubtful for the upcoming fixtures due to a hamstring issue, which puts his participation in the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea in question.
Stefan Bajcetic continues to struggle with growing pains, limiting his involvement in training sessions. Thiago Alcantara suffered a muscle problem during his recent return to action, while Joel Matip and Ben Doak are still in the recovery process from knee injuries.
