Iraola reveals Liverpool duo could return for Brentford clash

Andoni Iraola says it is “too early” to say whether Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexander Isak will return to the side against Brentford.

Both Szoboslzai and Isak missed Liverpool’s 6-3 win over LASK in the Champions League on Wednesday. The Hungarian because of a hamstring injury and the Swede with a thigh problem.

Iraola was asked whether they can return to the side when they face Brentford on Saturday.

“It is early for us to say,” he answered. “We have tomorrow’s training.

“Obviously they were not ready for yesterday night. We have to wait and see, I think it is still really early but I will leave the chance open.”

Ryan Gravenberch will miss the clash against Brentford after being sent off against Manchester City last weekend. Iraola explained how he hopes they will cope without the midfielder.

“In this period especially, we are basically playing every three days, almost less than three days. You need more players.

“That is why we changed it, the team a little bit yesterday,” he explained.

“We’ll need to change again at the weekend, we will need to change again when we face Villarreal in another three days.

“We need everyone. We need everyone in one moment or the other. Everyone has to be ready because we will probably need him.”
