Liverpool have to manage two crucial Premier League fixtures without starting right back Jeremie Frimpong after Arne Slot confirmed the Dutchman picked up a hamstring injury against Bournemouth.
Slot spoke to the media on Thursday ahead of Liverpool’s highly publicised trip to St. James’ Park to close out Gameweek 2 confirming the news: “The medical team were completely right about Jeremie [Frimpong] to tell me to take him off because he is out until the end of the international break and that happened during the game.”
The manager further highlighted Frimpong felt an issue with his hamstring and pushed back against outside criticism after substituting him in the game. Slot is not necessarily worried about Frimpong making a full recovery and staying fit moving forward, but the Netherlands defender is going to miss some crucial fixtures given the stated timeline.
