Jeremie Frimpong injury blow as distraught Liverpool star forced off
Frimpong’s early hamstring injury adds to Liverpool’s defensive crisis with four defenders sidelined, complicating their Champions League and Premier League campaigns.
- On Wednesday, Jeremie Frimpong limped off at Anfield after four minutes, clutching his hamstring and was replaced by Wataru Endo after medical treatment.
- Frimpong has endured repeated muscular setbacks this season, suffering hamstring problems in August-September and October-December, limiting him to just 11 Premier League appearances in his debut season.
- Liverpool were forced into a tactical reshuffle as midfielders covered defence with Ryan Gravenberch partnering Virgil van Dijk, while Alexis Mac Allister and Florian Wirtz scored to give the Reds the lead.
- The manager warned the player will be sidelined for a period of time, and Arne Slot said he does not expect Frimpong to play on Saturday while ruling out rushing defensive signings this month.
- With Bradley already out for the season, Liverpool's right-back depth is strained as Joe Gomez is sidelined with a knock from Saturday and Giovanni Leoni remains out long-term.
