Arne Slot says that Diogo Jota will be out for “weeks rather than months” after the Liverpool attacker suffered another agonising injury setback. The Portugal international missed Saturday’s dramatic win at Brentford after complaining of discomfort in a muscle following the midweek draw with Nottingham Forest. Jota, who was sidelined for two months before Christmas due to a chest problem, has only made 11 starts in all competitions so far this season and now he faces more frustration. Defender Joe Gomez (hamstring) is also still out as Liverpool gear up for Tuesday’s Champions League...

Liverpool could seal their place in the top eight but the picture is lot less rosy for Manchester City, Real Madrid and PSG

Harvey Elliott has dismissed speculation linking him with a possible move away from Liverpool as he insisted: “This is my club and I’ll fight for my place.” The England Under-21s midfielder’s future has been the subject of debate with his opportunities limited since Arne Slot took over as head coach last summer. Elliott missed two and a half months with a broken foot and since returning to action in November his only two starts have been in the domestic cups. However, he made a big impact off the bench in the closing stages of Saturday’s 2-0 win over Brentford as he played a role...

The Uruguayan is a frustrating figure but his brace at Brentford showed why Liverpool must persist with him - for now at least

Brentford head coach Thomas Frank has labelled Liverpool “the best team in the world” following his side’s 2-0 defeat against the Premier League leaders on Saturday. The two teams were heading for a goalless draw at the Gtech Community Stadium before a stoppage-time brace from Darwin Nunez claimed all three points for the visitors. Frank lamented his team’s missed opportunities after the match but was full of praise for Arne Slot’s side. “I thought we played a really good game against the best team in the world right now,” Frank told BBC Sport. “We did a lot of things right. We...

Liverpool Women manager Matt Beard says striker Olivia Smith is at risk of getting a “serious injury” unless more is done to protect her. Beard claimed Liverpool have submitted clips to the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), the body responsible for referees in English football, and Rebecca Welch, the organisation’s manager of officials in the women’s game, to show how the 20-year-old Canada international has been targeted by opposition defenders. Beard said the footage was submitted before the five-week winter break and that the club have not yet received a...

Liverpool fan groups have written an open letter to the club warning that rising ticket prices run the risk of “killing the Kop”. The Anfield hierarchy have previously committed to “meaningful engagement” with the Supporters’ Board over the cost of tickets ahead of the 2025-26 season and the issue will be discussed at a meeting on Monday.

Diogo Jota is a fitness doubt for Liverpool’s Premier League trip to Brentford tomorrow. The Portugal international made an instant impact off the bench when he scored in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest, but he picked up a minor muscle problem. Fellow attacker Luis Diaz also missed training on Thursday but the Colombian is expected to be available to face Thomas Frank’s side. “There’s no doubt about the fact that Jota is an important player for us, but he wasn’t on the training ground yesterday so we have to see where he is today,” head coach Arne Slot...
