Arne Slot has confirmed that Jeremie Frimpong will be sidelined for at least two weeks after picking up a hamstring injury, admitting the player is \u201cnot in a good place.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking ahead of Liverpool\u2019s Premier League clash with Brentford on Saturday night, the Dutch manager shared updates on several key squad members.<\/p>\n
\u201cJeremie is not in a good place,\u201d Slot explained. \u201cBy that, I mean he definitely won\u2019t play today, tomorrow, or next week. It\u2019s a hamstring issue, so it\u2019ll take some time.\u201d<\/p>\n
The news is a setback for Liverpool, as the 24-year-old had been in fine form since joining from Bayer Leverkusen for \u00a330 million during the summer.<\/p>\n
Isak and Gravenberch injury updates<\/p>\n
Slot also revealed that Alexander Isak and Ryan Gravenberch remain doubtful for the weekend trip to the south coast.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlex isn\u2019t doing too badly \u2014 we\u2019ll see how he is before the weekend,\u201d he said, adding that the same uncertainty applies to Gravenberch, who missed the midweek trip to Germany.<\/p>\n
Before the Frankfurt match, Slot explained: \u201cI had to take Ryan off at the weekend because he was limping a bit, as everyone saw. Unfortunately, he\u2019s still not ready.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alisson still out<\/p>\n
Alisson Becker remains unavailable for selection. \u201cAlisson won\u2019t be in the squad tomorrow,\u201d Slot confirmed. \u201cThat one will take a little longer.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the Brazilian still recovering, Giorgi Mamardashvili is expected to continue in goal, with Freddie Woodman likely providing backup on the bench.<\/p>\n
Frimpong\u2019s setback<\/p>\n
Frimpong\u2019s injury is particularly disappointing after his bright start at Anfield. The right-back was forced off in Germany, prompting concern that it might be a hamstring issue.<\/p>\n
Pundit Ally McCoist commented on TNT Sports that night: \u201cIt looked like a hamstring problem. For quick players, that can mean up to six weeks out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liverpool will be hoping Frimpong\u2019s recovery is much quicker \u2014 and that the club\u2019s growing injury list begins to clear soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
