How long could Jeremie Frimpong be sidelined following his hamstring injury in the win over Liverpool?
Liverpool’s emphatic 5–1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday came with a downside, as Jeremie Frimpong endured a disappointing evening on a personal level.
The 24-year-old, recalled to Arne Slot’s starting lineup, was forced off after just 19 minutes at Deutsche Bank Park due to a hamstring injury. Commentating for TNT Sports, Ally McCoist suggested that, given Frimpong’s explosive pace, a muscle tear could sideline him for up to six weeks. Slot’s post-match remarks also implied that his compatriot may be unavailable for several upcoming fixtures.
Dutch outlet NOS provided an update on Thursday morning, reporting that it remains uncertain whether Frimpong will recover in time for the Netherlands’ international matches against Poland and Lithuania on November 14 and 17.
Based on that timeline, Frimpong is expected to miss approximately five matches for Liverpool before the international break. Those would include Premier League clashes with Brentford, Aston Villa, and Manchester City, as well as the Carabao Cup tie against Crystal Palace and the Champions League encounter with Real Madrid in 12 days’ time.
If his recovery progresses well, a potential return against Nottingham Forest in about a month appears realistic. His comeback would be timely, with Liverpool set to enter a demanding stretch of up to 11 fixtures in the final six weeks of 2025.
During his absence, Conor Bradley is expected to deputize at right-back. The 22-year-old impressed in Frankfurt, offering reassurance that he can perform capably while Frimpong recovers.
The former Leverkusen star’s start to life at Anfield has been somewhat disrupted by injuries, and Liverpool will hope this latest setback proves to be his last of the season.
