Journalist: Frimpong cleared for Liverpool return at Burnley | OneFootball

Frimpong Targets Burnley Return

Liverpool could be boosted by the return of Jeremie Frimpong for Sunday’s clash with Burnley. According to the Daily Mail, the right back is back in training after missing games against Newcastle, Arsenal and the Netherlands’ international camp due to a hamstring injury.

Training Ground Update

Frimpong remained in north-west England for his rehabilitation and worked at the AXA Training Centre throughout the break. He was even present to welcome Alexander Isak on Deadline Day, a sign of his close connection to the squad.

Right Back Options Strengthened

The 23-year-old’s return would be a timely boost for Arne Slot, with fellow right back Conor Bradley impressing during international duty for Northern Ireland, where they pushed Germany and Florian Wirtz hard. Having both players available will give Liverpool depth and tactical flexibility ahead of a busy run of fixtures.

This feels like a significant moment ahead of the Burnley trip. Frimpong’s pace and attacking drive have been missed, especially in games where Liverpool have struggled to stretch opponents. His return should add balance on the right flank and offer Slot more freedom to rotate his full backs without compromising intensity.

The fact that Frimpong stayed local for his rehab and was spotted at the training ground on Deadline Day speaks volumes about his commitment. Supporters will expect him to slot back in seamlessly, but there will also be a call for patience to avoid aggravating the hamstring.

Bradley’s international performances have been encouraging, showing he is ready to compete for minutes. This healthy competition could bring the best out of both players. With Liverpool chasing silverware, depth at full back is crucial. Frimpong being available again might be the spark that helps Liverpool keep pace at the top and maintain their defensive stability in a demanding stretch of the season.
