Liverpool boss Arne Slot has shared updates on the injuries to Alexander Isak and Jeremie Frimpong \u2014 and the news isn\u2019t particularly encouraging.<\/p>\n
Slot admitted he\u2019s still unsure about the extent of Isak\u2019s issue, after the Swedish striker was forced off at half-time in the 5\u20131 win over Eintracht Frankfurt with a groin concern. The manager explained that managing Isak\u2019s fitness has been tricky since the player missed three months of action during the summer.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
As for Frimpong, Slot confirmed the Dutch right-back\u2019s situation looks worrying, suggesting he could be sidelined for several weeks.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
