"We felt Jeremie had an issue in his hamstring the medical team did, Slot explained, as reported by journalist Ian Doyle. They were right. A good call from them as otherwise he could have been out for even longer. While the news comes as a blow, Slot was keen to stress that the injury is not long-term. The expectation is that Frimpong will return to full fitness after the international break."
"In the meantime, Liverpool will need to explore alternative options at full-back. Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley could be called upon to provide cover.

Medical team was right about Jeremie to tell me to take him out as he's out until the end of the international break."
Jeremie Frimpong has been ruled out until after the upcoming international break with a hamstring strain sustained during training. Medical staff withdrew him immediately after he reported discomfort, and scans confirmed a strain requiring rest and rehabilitation. The injury is not expected to be long-term, with an anticipated return to full fitness after the break. Liverpool will need alternative full-back options in the interim, with Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley as possible cover. Conor trained briefly for the first time. The club aims to avoid aggravation so Frimpong can return sharper for the congested Premier League and European schedule.
