Liverpool injury blow as summer signing suffers hamstring injury | OneFootball

Liverpool have been dealt an injury blow with Jeremie Frimpong having sustained a hamstring injury.

The summer signing is set for several weeks on the sidelines and is not expected to return until after September’s international break.

Frimpong is a new arrival at Liverpool, having joined from Bayer Leverkusen in a £29.5m deal. The right-back made his Premier League debut during the club’s season-opening win against Bournemouth.

Conor Bradley has returned to first-team training in a well-timed boost for the Reds. However, it unclear whether the Irishman will be risked for Monday’s clash at Newcastle.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Slot said: “Jeremie [Frimpong] has a very positive injury record. Conor [Bradley] was out once or twice last season. These things happen.

“At the moment we only have two injuries but unfortunately, it is two in the same position. The good thing is we have other players that can play there. Wataru Endo played there. Dominik Szoboszlai.

“Joe Gomez is definitely one of them but for him to already play 20 minutes – that is already quite a lot.

“I wouldn’t say he has had a set-back but he wasn’t able to train three days in a row completely with the team. This is completely normal when you have been out for so long.

“He is training with the team, so let’s see where he is and if he can be involved on Monday. You cannot prepare for two injuries in one position.”
