Jeremie Frimpong suffered a hamstring issue and was substituted in the 60th minute of the Premier League opener against Bournemouth on medical advice. Frimpong is expected to be out until the end of the international break and should return afterward. Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez have both recently been returning from injuries, with Bradley managing a few minutes of training and Gomez having played about 20 minutes. Wataru Endo and Dominik Szoboszlai have filled in at full-back and are available as alternatives. Frimpong has an excellent recent fitness record, missing just four Bundesliga games over three seasons.
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,
I think I got criticised for taking him off, didn't I? It had nothing to do with how he played but we felt he had an issue with his hamstring and by we, I mean the medical staff.
At the moment we only have two injuries but unfortunately, it is two in the same position. The good thing is we have other players that can play there. Wataru Endo played there. Dominik Szoboszlai.
