Liverpool may have defeated Brentford on Saturday, Oct. 17, but the Reds didn't escape the game unscathed.
Goals from Víctor Muñoz and Alexander Isak in an eight-minute span of the second half secured a comeback 2-1 win, but Liverpool saw two other players exit the match with injuries.
Dominik Szoboszlai was forced off the field in the 32nd minute, just one week after he was a late scratch from Liverpool's defeat to Manchester City due to a hamstring injury.
The Hungary international recovered in time to start at the Gtech Community Stadium, but he went down off the ball and had to be withdrawn in favor of Trey Nyoni.
After the game, Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola told Sky Sports that Szoboszlai was still dealing with the same hamstring injury.
"He has tried, he has trained the last days, but we didn't know the minutes he'd have. It's not another injury, he's still not healed," Iraola said.

Jeremie Frimpong came on as a halftime sub against Brentford, but the Dutch international lasted just eight minutes before he was withdrawn due to injury.
Frimpong slowly limped off in the 53rd minute, as Rio Ngumoha took his place.
Iraola said Frimpong had suffered cramps near the end of a 6-3 Champions League win at LASK in midweek. The right back came on to help Liverpool press a man advantage after a Brentford red card, but he quickly suffered a muscle issue.
"He finished cramping the other day in the Champions League so we knew he wouldn't start the game," Iraola said. "We were playing against 10 and I thought he was going to give us more going forwards, but he felt straight away something in the muscle."
