BOMBSHELL UPDATE: Liverpool injury, suspension list and return dates vs. Brentford: Alexander Isak, Alisson Becker, Jeremie Frimpong latest

Liverpool’s turbulent 2025-26 Premier League campaign reaches its climax this weekend as they host Brentford at Anfield on Sunday in their final league fixture. With Champions League qualification still hanging in the balance, Arne Slot’s side will be desperate to sign off their domestic season on a positive note following a disappointing 4-2 defeat to Aston Villa last Friday.

While the return of Mohamed Salah and Florian Wirtz offered some encouragement from that loss, uncertainty continues to surround several key members of the squad. Here is the latest on Liverpool’s injury and suspension situation ahead of the Brentford clash.

Alexander Isak – Major Doubt British-record signing Alexander Isak has endured a frustrating debut season at Anfield, blighted by injuries. After recently recovering from a complex four-month layoff caused by a lower leg break, the Sweden international has picked up a minor muscle issue. He was absent against Aston Villa and remains a major doubt for Sunday’s match.

However, Slot has offered a glimmer of hope, stating there is “definitely a chance” Isak could feature. His potential availability would be a significant boost to Liverpool’s attacking options in what is effectively a must-win game.

Alisson Becker – Minor Doubt Liverpool’s long-serving goalkeeper Alisson Becker has shown world-class quality throughout his time at the club but has also battled recurring fitness concerns in recent seasons. The Brazilian is currently nursing a knee problem, though he is only rated a minor doubt for the Brentford fixture.

Positive signs emerged after Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that Alisson has been training for the past two weeks. A return between the posts on Sunday would provide a major lift in both confidence and defensive stability.

Jeremie Frimpong – Major Doubt Another summer 2025 arrival, Jeremie Frimpong, has been plagued by hamstring problems throughout the campaign. The versatile Dutchman’s pace and energy have been sorely missed at times this term, and his fitness remains in question heading into the final weekend.

Like Isak, Frimpong is considered a major doubt, but his potential involvement could give Slot valuable options on the flanks or in midfield.

Longer-Term Absentees Several players remain sidelined for the remainder of the season and beyond:

• Hugo Ekitike is out for up to nine months after rupturing his Achilles tendon against Paris Saint-Germain in mid-April. The Frenchman’s absence has been felt keenly in attack.
• Conor Bradley continues his recovery from a serious knee injury sustained in January and is expected to miss the start of next season.
• Wataru Endo is progressing well after ankle surgery but will not be available until early June at the earliest. Slot remains optimistic the Japan international can be fit for the 2026 World Cup.
• Giovanni Leoni, signed from Parma last summer, is still recovering from an ACL injury suffered on his debut and will target a strong return next season.

Suspension News Liverpool have no players suspended for the final Premier League match of the campaign.

As the season draws to a close, the availability of Isak, Alisson, and Frimpong could prove decisive in determining whether Liverpool can secure the result they need against Brentford. With the pressure mounting at Anfield, Slot will be hoping for as many positive returns as possible to salvage what has been a difficult domestic season.
