Jeremie Frimpong’s hamstring injury will sideline him for six weeks, a significant blow to Arne Slot’s Liverpool side, which is already struggling with form and other key player absences.
Liverpool have been handed a significant injury setback with the revelation that summer signing Jeremie Frimpong is expected to be sidelined for up to six weeks due to a recurring hamstring issue, according to reporting from Football Insider.
The Dutch right-back sustained the injury early in the Champions League victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, forcing his substitution after just 19 minutes. This marks the second time the 24-year-old has been troubled by a hamstring problem this season, having faced a similar issue on his Premier League debut.
The prolonged absence is a major blow for manager Arne Slot, who will be forced to navigate a crucial fixture list—including clashes against Aston Villa, Real Madrid, and Manchester City in November—without one of his key attacking full-backs. The latest timeline suggests the earliest Frimpong will be available is early December.
Manager Arne Slot had previously offered a grim initial assessment ahead of the weekend’s fixture against Brentford.
“Jeremie is not in a good place,” Slot admitted. “What I mean with that is that he’s definitely not going to play today, tomorrow or next week. Hamstring injury, so that’s going to take a while.”
In Frimpong’s absence, Conor Bradley remains the only natural senior right-back available, putting immediate pressure on the young defender and further straining Liverpool’s squad depth as they attempt to revive their Premier League form.
