Arne Slot's side are looking to stop their run of three successive defeats with a win against the Bees. Both players are doubts for the Bees.Slot said: "Alex, not too bad. [A] question mark for the weekend, so let's see where he is then."And that's the same to be said about Ryan.

He didn't travel with us [to Frankfurt], so today we are in again. Let's see where he is today."Alisson Becker has also been ruled out of this weekend's game as he continues his recovery from a thigh injury he suffered against Galatasaray.Slot revealed: "Alisson is not in the squad [for the match at Brentford] tomorrow.

That's also going to take a little bit longer."Liverpool will also be without Giovanni Leoni who is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after damaging his anterior cruciate ligament against Southampton in the Carabao Cup.Speaking on September 26, Slot said: "He is not in a good place, of course, because he tore his ACL and it means he will be out for a year. Being so young and coming to a new country and playing so well in your first game... it's very hard to take the positive side."There's never a positive side – but you always try to look at a positive side and that is that he is still so young, so he has so many years still to go after he recovers from a terrible injury like that."Brentford are expected to be without Aaron Hickey for the clash with the Reds this weekend.
