Liverpool manager Arne Slot has delivered concerning updates regarding injuries to Alexander Isak and Jeremie Frimpong.<\/p>\n
Slot revealed uncertainty over the severity of Isak\u2019s problem after the Swedish striker was withdrawn at half-time during the 5\u20131 win against Eintracht Frankfurt due to a groin issue. He noted that managing the forward\u2019s fitness has been challenging, given Isak\u2019s three-month layoff over the summer.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old, who forced a move from Newcastle United to Liverpool by refusing to train, seems to be suffering from the effects of missing an entire pre-season, which now appears to be taking a toll.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Frimpong\u2019s situation looks even more concerning. Slot confirmed that the Dutch defender\u2019s injury could keep him out for several weeks.<\/p>\n
These setbacks come at a crucial time for Liverpool. Despite their convincing victory in Frankfurt, the team has endured a poor run of form, losing four of their previous five fixtures. With a congested schedule ahead, Slot will be eager to have both players return to full fitness as soon as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
