  • Liverpool's summer signing Jeremie Frimpong will be out until September due to a hamstring injury sustained during his Premier League debut against Bournemouth.
  • The injury leaves manager Arne Slot with a dilemma at right-back for the upcoming matches against Newcastle and Arsenal.
  • Conor Bradley has only just returned to first-team training, and Joe Gomez is also being carefully managed after a pre-season injury, making their availability uncertain.
  • Slot confirmed that the medical team's decision to substitute Frimpong during the Bournemouth game was correct, preventing a potentially longer layoff.
  • The manager is assessing options for the right-back position, including Gomez's fitness and potentially involving new teenage centre-back Giovanni Leoni, who has trained with the first team.
