Liverpool's Jota and Diaz Doubts for Brentford

Liverpool forward Diogo Jota faces doubt for the upcoming Premier League match against Brentford due to a fresh injury concern. Jota, who recently returned from an upper-body injury and scored a crucial goal against Nottingham Forest, reported discomfort after the game. Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed that Jota missed training on Thursday, casting uncertainty over his availability for the Brentford game. Despite ongoing individual fitness programs to manage his recurring injuries, Jota's condition remains under assessment. This situation adds pressure on Liverpool, who are seeking their first win of 2025, as they try to maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League table. The team also has concerns over the fitness of fellow forward Luis Diaz, who missed training due to illness.
