Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola says Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong could be missing for "some time" after they both limped off during the Reds' win at Brentford.

Szoboszlai was brought back into the starting XI having missed each of the last two fixtures. He was taken off around half an hour in and replaced by Trey Nyoni. Jeremie Frimpong, meanwhile, was introduced at half-time for Ronald Araujo but only lasted a few minutes before he was struck down with a hamstring issue.

The Reds take on Villarreal in the Champions League on Tuesday and then have Brighton at Anfield next weekend. Forward Cody Gakpo, who has also been sidelined lately, returned to the bench at the Gtech Community Stadium.

"There was a lot of things happening during the game," Iraola had earlier told Sky Sports. "The first half more or less was quite level, we had the clear chance.

"They scored before the end and second half we need the comeback. I think we played really well until the 2-1. After that we started to protect something, I think we didn't manage the last minutes well.

"I think some of the players were seeing quite clear chances to finish the game that we haven't been able to finish. We lacked some composure on the ball. Sometimes it was just about keeping the ball more and not going for the goal with the first chance."
