A fresh injury setback has been confirmed for Liverpool, with new updates also emerging on the situations of Frimpong and Danns.
Liverpool’s injury situation has taken another turn after Sunday’s loss to Manchester City, with Mail Sport’s Lewis Steel delivering key updates on several squad members.
The reporter shared fresh information on Stefan Bajcetic, Jayden Danns, Alisson Becker and Jeremie Frimpong, bringing a mix of positive and concerning news before the international break.
Bajcetic steps up recovery as Frimpong faces longer absence
Steel revealed that Bajcetic has resumed light training at the AXA Training Centre following his summer surgery.
“Bajcetic has been back out on the grass at the AXA Training Centre, which is a promising sign after his operation,” he said, adding that the midfielder could feature for the Under-21s soon.
That’s a welcome boost considering how impressive the young Spaniard looked before his injury halted his rise.
The outlook is less encouraging for Jeremie Frimpong, though, with Steel confirming the Dutch defender is set for an extended spell out.
“Patience is needed with that one,” he said, reiterating his earlier report of a minimum six-week layoff.
It’s another setback for the 24-year-old as he adapts to life at Anfield, and with Robbie Fowler recently questioning whether Liverpool’s summer window left the squad “worse, not better,” the timing hardly helps the team’s depth or momentum.
Danns suffers a worrying setback
Jayden Danns is reportedly in good spirits but still facing an unclear recovery schedule.
“Danns’s injury sounds nasty, though his mood is positive. I’ve no timeline yet,” Steel noted.
It’s a frustrating blow for supporters, especially after Wales boss Rob Page suggested the 18-year-old could become “the next England No.9 in years to come.”
On a brighter note, there’s optimism that Alisson Becker could return to the starting lineup for the upcoming clash with Nottingham Forest as he pushes for a swift comeback.
Liverpool’s 3–0 defeat to City once again highlighted how heavily the team relies on its key players.
With five losses in six Premier League games, the international break comes at an ideal moment for the squad to regroup and recover.
