On a thrilling Wednesday night, Liverpool celebrated a stunning 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League. It was a night to remember, but not all the news was rosy. The Reds took a hit with some unfortunate injuries to key players Alexander Isak and Jeremie Frimpong.
After the final whistle, Liverpool’s manager, Arne Slot, revealed that Frimpong had hurt his hamstring. That’s tough luck for him—and even tougher for the Dutch national team, as it doesn’t seem to bode well for his immediate future on the pitch.
Frimpong’s hamstring troubles have been a recurring theme. He faced a setback back in August that kept him sidelined for weeks and even forced him out of September’s national team fixtures. It was a disappointing stretch, but the 24-year-old seemed to bounce back, making seven appearances for Liverpool and even getting on the field for the Netherlands earlier this month. He started against Frankfurt but had to leave the game early, being substituted by Conor Bradley just 19 minutes in.
Now, it appears that Frimpong will be on the sidelines again for several weeks. That’s definitely a concern, not just for Liverpool but also for the Netherlands, as he’s expected to miss the upcoming international break in November. If that timeline holds up, Frimpong will miss some critical matches, including Liverpool’s face-offs against Brentford, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and even more high-stakes games against Real Madrid and Manchester City.
It’s a tough break for a player who was just getting back into the groove. Fans will be hoping for a speedy recovery so he can rejoin the squad and help make an impact on the field again. Fingers crossed!
