Liverpool's injury woes deepen as versatile defender Jeremie Frimpong is set to miss a few weeks with a groin injury. The 25-year-old was forced to be substituted after just four minutes into the 6-0 win over Qarabag on Wednesday, a significant blow to Jurgen Klopp's team.
Frimpong's injury leaves Liverpool without a recognised right-back for their upcoming Premier League match against Newcastle United, with Conor Bradley ruled out for the rest of the season due to a serious knee injury involving damage to bone and ligament. Fellow right-back Joe Gomez will also miss the game after a recent knock, but is expected to return soon.
The good news for Liverpool is that Frimpong's injury is not as severe as initially feared, with coach Arne Slot hailing it as "something positive from something not so positive". The team has been plagued by injuries this season, and the absence of key players will be a concern for Klopp and his team.
Alexander Isak, who recently returned to training after undergoing surgery on a broken leg and ankle, is unlikely to make a return in time for the Newcastle game.
