Pre-Brentford Injury Update: Frimpong, Isak, Gravenberch, Alisson Status Revealed

In a pre-match update ahead of their clash with Brentford, the status of several key players was discussed by head coach Slot. The team’s medical situation has raised concerns, as injuries have begun to accumulate among crucial squad members.

Injury Updates on Players

Two players, Jeremie Frimpong and Alexander Isak, sustained injuries during the team’s recent Champions League victory against Eintracht Frankfurt. Their statuses are crucial as the squad prepares for the upcoming match.

Jeremie Frimpong

Frimpong is dealing with a hamstring injury. Slot confirmed that he is “not in a good place” and will miss not only the match against Brentford but also potentially an extended period thereafter.

Alexander Isak

Isak’s situation appears to be slightly more optimistic. While he is doubtful for the weekend fixture, Slot noted that his condition remains uncertain and will be assessed closer to match time.

Ryan Gravenberch

Gravenberch missed the trip to Germany due to a twisted ankle. His recovery will be monitored as the team evaluates his potential return to the pitch.

Alisson Becker

Goalkeeper Alisson, who has been sidelined since an injury sustained against Galatasaray last month, will not be included in the squad for the upcoming match. His situation will also require further assessment as his recovery continues.

Upcoming Match Details

The team is set to face Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 8 p.m. BST on Saturday. Fans will be eager to see how the team manages with several key players on the sidelines due to injuries.
