# Virals: Jurgen Klopp provides in-depth Liverpool injury update

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/09/23/liverpool-in-the-footsteps-to-sign-borussia-dortmund-star-erling-haaland/) look set to be without three key first-team players for the trip to Brentford this weekend.

The Reds head to the newly promoted Bees looking to [remain unbeaten](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) in the Premier League and perhaps move clear of Chelsea at the top of the table.

Fresh off the back of a much-changed side cruising past Norwich City [3-0](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58553817) in midweek, more rotation is expected.

[Speaking](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/444455-lfc-fitness-latest-jurgen-klopp-provides-update-on-six-players) ahead of the clash, Jurgen Klopp has ruled out Thiago, Naby Keita and Roberto Firmino for the trip.

The 54-year-old admitted there was ‘no chance’ Thiago could feature, whilst Firmino, who has been [sidelined](https://theathletic.com/news/liverpools-roberto-firmino-on-road-to-recovery-from-hamstring-injury/6TWyVCMO2rax) with a hamstring injury, was ‘back in contention’ but still seems unlikely to play a role from the start.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Losing Thiago and [Keita](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/09/22/virals-bizarre-naby-keita-injury-mars-perfect-carabao-cup-night/) so soon after Harvey Elliott was ruled out for a prolonged period is undoubtedly far from ideal.

For Keita in particular, any time spend out of action will be further frustration having made a bright start to a campaign where the Guinean could finally [establish himself](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/naby-keita/verletzungen/spieler/302215) as one of the first names on the teamsheet.

Albeit both midfielders look to only be short term absentees, it does mean another reshuffle.

Klopp is [likely to field](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/team/first-team) a trio of Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and either Curtis Jones or James Milner at Brentford.
