Brentford could be in line for a double injury boost ahead of this weekend's meeting with Nottingham Forest.
Bees boss Thomas Frank revealed in his pre-match press conference that Matthias Jensen will be available for selection against the Reds. And he could be able to call upon Christian Norgaard, too.
Jensen was subbed off during the first half of Brentford's 1-1 draw with Wolves after suffering a dead leg. The midfielder has trained this week and will play if asked to by Frank.

“There’s no problem,” he told West London Sport. “He got a dead leg but it looks fine and he trained today, so he’s available for Saturday."
Norgaard has been out of action since August with an Achilles problem. The Dane will be assessed ahead of their trip to the City Ground.
“We will assess Norgaard. He’s progressing well and we will see if we involve him or if we wait until Tuesday.”
Pontus Jansson and Aaron Hickey remain sidelined, as does Charlie Goode and backup goalkeeper Strakosha. Star striker Ivan Toney will miss the game through suspension.
Frank added that he is "very impressed" by the job Steve Cooper has done at Forest. "We've met a few times in the Championship, I thought he did a fantastic job with Swansea.
"He came to Nottingham during the season and got them promoted in the most difficult way, as I know well, through the playoffs, very impressive. I think they have done well."
