"Liverpool's injury problems at the back continued on Wednesday when they faced Qarabag in the final round of the Champions League group stage. On what was otherwise a great evening for the Merseysiders, who won the game by 6-0, the mood at Anfield was dampened by an early injury which forced Jeremie Frimpong to be replaced. With Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez both injured as well, Arne Slot has no right-back in his team, and though other players have occasionally filled in that role, the problem is obviously dire."
"Here's what Slot had to say when asked about Frimpong's injury possibly forcing the club to dip into the transfer market in the last days of January. 🗣️ "Are there players that can help us and if there are can we afford them?" Arne Slot discusses the potential need for reinforcements after Jeremie Frimpong went off early in their Chamions League clash with Qarabag. pic.twitter.com/QZ2nR7whFW - Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) January 29, 2026"
Jeremie Frimpong was forced off early in Liverpool's Champions League final group game against Qarabag, souring an otherwise 6-0 victory. Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez are also sidelined, leaving manager Arne Slot without a specialist right-back. Other players have occasionally covered the position, but squad depth at right-back is currently insufficient. Slot raised the prospect of seeking reinforcements before the January transfer deadline and questioned both the availability of suitable players and the club's capacity to afford them.
