"Hugo had a big chance and scored. Alex got a few, unfortunately, he didn't score yet, but he had to go off at half-time because he felt his groin a little bit. That's a pity. I've said many times, it's such a difficult balance to find with a player who missed three months. You bring him slowly, people sometimes argue with you, why you cannot play him longer or more often."
"I think it was good. We can improve together and he is a very good player, we need to work together and find a good association," he said. "It was a great feeling [to come back to Frankfurt]."
Alexander Isak was withdrawn at half-time with a groin complaint after starting alongside new signing Hugo Ekitike in Liverpool's 5-1 Champions League win over Eintracht Frankfurt at Deutsche Bank Park. Slot explained Isak felt his groin and that it was difficult to manage a player returning after three months out, leaving Isak's availability for the Brentford match unclear. Liverpool fell behind to Rasmus Kristensen before Ekitike equalised; Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate scored from corners to put Liverpool ahead, and Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai completed the rout. Ekitike said he and Isak can improve playing together.
