Liverpool's Jota Doubtful for Brentford Match

Diogo Jota is a fitness doubt for Liverpool's Premier League match against Brentford after experiencing discomfort following a recent game. Despite scoring shortly after coming off the bench against Nottingham Forest, Jota did not participate in training on Thursday, raising concerns about his availability for the match. Head coach Arne Slot acknowledged Jota's importance to the team but indicated that a final decision on his participation would be made closer to game time. In more positive news, fellow forward Luis Diaz, who missed training due to illness, is expected to be fit for the match. The team heads into the game with a four-point lead in the Premier League, but Slot cautioned about the increasing competitiveness in the second half of the season. Additionally, Darwin Nunez, who recently returned from a ban, may be given a starting opportunity as the squad assesses their attacking options.
