Liverpool FC team news vs. Brighton – Injuries, suspensions & available squad

Published

on

 

Arne Slot could be without five senior players as Liverpool take on Brighton and attempt to move above Fabian Hurzeler’s side in the Premier League.

 

The big question on everyone’s lips is, ‘Will Mo Salah play?’

 

Well we can’t say for sure if he will start but we can tell you that he will be in the squad, as per Friday evening’s development that talks had been “positive” at the training ground.

 

Here is who could miss out for Liverpool vs. Brighton and Slot’s updates:

 

Federico Chiesa (illness) – available

 

Alexander Isak (knock) – doubt – “got a knock in the first half” against Inter

 

Conor Bradley (suspended) – unavailable

 

Cody Gakpo (muscle) – unavailable – out for “weeks” yet

 

Wataru Endo (ankle) – unavailable – also out for “weeks”

 

Jeremie Frimpong (hamstring) – unavailable

 

Giovanni Leoni (ACL) – unavailable

 

Stefan Bajcetic (hamstring) – unavailable

 

Jayden Danns (hamstring) – unavailable

 

 

Due to last weekend’s comments about the club ‘throwing him under a bus’, Salah was left at home as Liverpool won at San Siro on Tuesday.

 

However, the Egyptian is fit and thanks to “positive” talks on Friday, he will be in the squad to face Brighton, according to various reporters including the Athletic‘s James Pearce.

 

During his press conference, the head coach revealed that Alexander Isak “got a knock in the first half” against Inter, “so let’s see how he has recovered from that.”

 

The news on Federico Chiesa is more positive, though. The Italian has recovered from illness and back in training.

 

Cody Gakpo and Wataru Endo are two notable absentees and will be out for “weeks” yet with muscle and ankle injuries respectively, said Slot.

 

Conor Bradley is also certain to miss the match. He is serving a one-match ban, having picked up his fifth booking of the Premier League season last time out.

 

There is no sign of Jeremie Frimpong, who was expected to return to training this week. This means Joe Gomez will likely start at right-back against Brighton.

 

Giovanni Leoni remains out as he recovers from his ACL surgery, while Jayden Danns and Stefan Bajcetic continue to sit on the sidelines due to hamstring injuries.

The contract and paperwork are already in place for Liverpool to welcome back Jarell Quansah, who left Merseyside to join Bayer Leverkusen last summer, to help fill out the Reds’ thin defensive ranks

Published

on

Yes — that claim lines up with multiple transfer-news reports: Liverpool could re-sign 23-year-old England centre-back Jarell Quansah from Bayer Leverkusen in future, thanks to a buy-back clause in the deal that sent him to Germany — but not immediately next season.

🔁 What’s Happening with Quansah and Liverpool

Quansah moved from Liverpool to Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2025 for a reported fee around £30m-£35m (plus add-ons), joining the Bundesliga side on a long-term contract.

As part of that transfer, Liverpool inserted a buy-back clause allowing the club to re-sign him in the future for a pre-agreed fee.

However, the clause cannot be activated until the summer of 2027 at the earliest.

TEAM

Reports suggest the buy-back figure could be around £50m-£60m (with potential add-ons increasing the fee), although exact numbers vary across sources.

There are also indications Liverpool have pre-agreed personal terms with Quansah should they trigger the buy-back, smoothing the path for a return.

TEAMtalk

🧠 Context for the Move

Quansah was a Liverpool academy graduate and made senior appearances before leaving, but opted for more first-team football in Germany.

Football Today

With his development in the Bundesliga and Liverpool’s evolving defensive needs, the idea of bringing him back — especially given future departures or ageing defenders — is being discussed in transfer circles.

TEAMtalk

Bottom line: the Football Insider claim that Liverpool could re-sign Quansah later isn’t unfounded — there is a buy-back clause — but any switch is realistically targeted for 2027 or beyond, not next summer.

BREAKING NEWS The Word From Liverpool Is’ – Arne Slot Sack Update Emerges After Man City Defeat

Published

on

 

Liverpool manager Arne Slot’s job is believed to be safe for now, despite their recent home defeat against Manchester City on Sunday afternoon, according to journalist David Lynch.

 

The Reds looked as though they were heading to victory after Dominik Szboszlai fired in a stunning free-kick from range to put his side in front. Late in the game, Bernardo Silva latched onto a headed throughball by Erling Haaland, poking past Alisson Becker to level the scoring.

 

In the final minutes, Man City were awarded a penalty, and Erling Haaland stepped up to slot into the bottom corner, scoring the winner for Pep Guardiola’s side. City had the ball in the net once again in the dying seconds, but play was brought back for a foul by Szoboszlai, who was sent off after a VAR review.

 

Arne Slot Safe at Liverpool

 

According to journalist Lynch, Slot’s job at Liverpool is safe at the moment, but he doesn’t buy into the idea that he can afford endless poor performances and results.

 

The word from Liverpool is that Arne Slot is safe, but I don’t really buy the idea he can afford endless poor performances and bad results until the end of the season. Today was both, in my opinion. https://t.co/sjMRhibrZK — David Lynch (@davidlynchlfc) February 8, 2026

 

Liverpool are seemingly willing to stick with Slot for now, which might not be a huge surprise after he won the Premier League title last season. Their achievement in the 2024/2025 campaign undoubtedly carries a lot of weight, with Slot having credit in the bank heading into this campaign.

 

Results will undoubtedly have to improve, and with one Premier League win in their previous seven games, the pressure is on Slot to turn things around as soon as possible.

Liverpool need to make a decision and soon, as they are in danger of seeing their season drift away from them. The Reds will have been aiming to lift the Premier League title once again, but now, even Champions League qualification is looking like a difficult task.

 

The mentality to throw away a 1-0 lead against Man City is the biggest disappointment for them, especially as they’ve notoriously been a bogey team for Guardiola at Anfield. The credit in the bank will only last so long, and the board must surely be considering making a change in the near future

If FSG think that 6 wins out of the last 20, a points per game ratio similar to Spurs, behind United, just 2 points ahead of Everton and some dreadful football thrown in means he’s safe, then what would he have to do to be in trouble? FSG must see that he is not the answer. The Kop will decide on Slot’s fate as they did with Hodgson.

 

 

The idea having credit in the bank for having a past title, that’s only a rhyme at Lfc. We saw Mourinho being sacked for far less bad results though he is/was a seasoned manager. Had Slot won the CL? At Lfc it is all about the money. They fabricate reasons just not to sign new players. They do the same not to sack.
