Liverpool’s Game Plan Shattered Within 20 Minutes by Fresh Injury Blow
Liverpool faced a significant setback during their Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt when Jeremie Frimpong sustained an injury. The Reds traveled to Germany without key players including Giovanni Leoni, Alisson Becker, and Ryan Gravenberch, which forced Curtis Jones into the starting lineup at Deutsche Bank Park.
Liverpool’s Injury Woes Begin Early
Just before the 20-minute mark, Frimpong went down with a hamstring injury. He was playing well but had to leave the pitch, pointing to his hamstring as he exited the game. Conor Bradley replaced him shortly thereafter.
Frimpong’s Challenging Season
This injury marks another setback for the summer signing from Bayer Leverkusen. He had struggled with injuries earlier in the season and had only completed a full 90 minutes in two matches since joining Liverpool. His absence disrupts Liverpool’s defensive plans, especially as Bradley sits one yellow card away from a Champions League suspension.
- Key Players Missing: Giovanni Leoni, Alisson Becker, Ryan Gravenberch
- Replacement: Conor Bradley for Jeremie Frimpong
- Upcoming Match: Against Real Madrid in 13 days
With the potential for complex defensive challenges ahead, Liverpool hopes Frimpong can recover quickly from his injury. The team’s depth will be tested as they prepare for their next fixture.
