Liverpool boss Arne Slot has shared updates on the injuries to Alexander Isak and Jeremie Frimpong — and the news isn’t particularly encouraging.
Slot admitted he’s still unsure about the extent of Isak’s issue, after the Swedish striker was forced off at half-time in the 5–1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt with a groin concern. The manager explained that managing Isak’s fitness has been tricky since the player missed three months of action during the summer.
Isak, who went on strike at Newcastle United to push through his move to Liverpool, appears to be feeling the effects of missing a full pre-season, which may now be catching up with him.
As for Frimpong, Slot confirmed the Dutch right-back’s situation looks worrying, suggesting he could be sidelined for several weeks.

Konaté: “Success Will Come” Despite the uncertainty, Konaté remains optimistic. Speaking in a recent interview, the French centre-back emphasized that this phase is part of a bigger journey. According to him, Liverpool are still adapting — especially with new players settling into the squad. He believes that with time, chemistry will improve and trophies will follow. 🏆 He also pointed to last season’s success as proof that the team has what it takes to bounce back stronger. 🤝 A Call for Unity More than anything, Konaté stressed the importance of togetherness between the team and its supporters. He praised the Anfield faithful and urged everyone to stay united, insisting that better days are ahead if patience is maintained. ❤️ Interestingly, his comments come at a time when his own future at the club remains uncertain, with his contract situation yet to be resolved heading into the summer. 🔍 What Happens Next? Liverpool’s season is now entering a defining period. Results must improve, injuries need to clear, and stability must return — both on and off the pitch. But if Konaté’s words are anything to go by, belief inside the squad is still very much alive. And sometimes… that’s all it takes before everything turns around. 👀🔥

These developments come at a difficult time for Liverpool, who, despite their emphatic victory in Frankfurt, have been struggling for form after four defeats in their last five matches. With a packed fixture list ahead, Slot will be desperate to have his key players fit and firing again.
