Liverpool youngster set for huge opportunity after latest injury blow

Liverpool got the result at Brentford. Three points away from home, after going behind, always matter. Doing it in awkward circumstances matters even more. Still, the main talking point was not the comeback, it was Dominik Szoboszlai limping off and needing help from the medical staff.

That changes things quickly for Andoni Iraola. Early indications suggest Szoboszlai could miss more than two weeks and potentially remain out until the November international break.

In a crowded run of fixtures, that is a problem. Liverpool have six significant matches before then, and the midfield suddenly looks light, stretched and reliant on players who have either barely featured or are still learning on the job.
