Liverpool Signing Faces Fresh Injury Setback Sparking Real Concerns
Liverpool is facing another injury concern as defender Jeremie Frimpong limps off during their recent Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt. The incident raises doubts about his availability for key upcoming fixtures, including a highly anticipated clash against Real Madrid.
Frimpong’s Injury Details
In the match that took place on October 25, Frimpong left the field just 19 minutes in, clutching his hamstring. He was replaced by Conor Bradley. This injury adds to Liverpool’s growing list of sidelined players.
Potential Outings
Frimpong, who has not had a stable starting position, may miss up to four matches, including:
- Premier League match against Brentford.
- EFL Cup clash with Aston Villa on October 29.
- League match against Aston Villa on November 1.
- Champions League match versus Real Madrid on November 4.
The right-back’s absence would be a significant blow, especially as Liverpool aims to improve after a string of disappointing results.
Alternative Options for Liverpool
Liverpool’s coach, Arne Slot, has several options to consider for replacing Frimpong. Conor Bradley is the most straightforward candidate, having participated in four Premier League games this season.
- Joe Gomez offers a more defensive approach.
- Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones can also fill in on the right side, freeing up midfield for other key players.
Despite these alternatives, the situation is complicated by other injuries. Ryan Gravenberch is also dealing with an ankle injury, while Alisson Becker is recovering from a hamstring issue and Giovanni Leoni is out with an ACL injury.
Summary of Injury Impact
With key players unavailable, Liverpool’s depth will be tested in the coming weeks. The potential absence of Frimpong, especially for the match against Real Madrid, raises fresh concerns as the team seeks to regain form.
