Liverpool star forces Arne Slot to rethink plans

Jeremie Frimpong picked up a hamstring injury against Bournemouth on Friday night. Now we know how long Liverpool will miss him for.

Jeremie Frimpong went off at 59 minutes against Bournemouth last Friday as Liverpool eventually won 4-2. Wataru Endo came on at right-back - a surprise substitution.

It turned out that Frimpong was actually forced off. Liverpool felt they needed to remove him because of a hamstring injury on what was his Premier League debut for the Reds.

Frimpong, according to the Daily Mail, could well miss the trip to St James' Park on Monday evening.

According to Lewis Steele, the former Bayer Leverkusen wing-back is "in a race against time to be fit for Newcastle on Monday, after feeling discomfort in his hamstring."

It’s a massive blow to Liverpool and Frimpong. The Dutch defender has started very brightly for the club, scoring in the Community Shield against Crystal Palace.

Jeremie Frimpong OUT injured

It's especially a blow for Liverpool because Conor Bradley is also out injured. There was speculation that the youngster would actually start for the club against Palace but an injury ruled him out of the Wembley clash.

Bradley has been out since, leaving Liverpool with only Frimpong. Of course, now they lack any right-backs at all.

That will be a huge problem for Arne Slot.

First comes Newcastle United away. That will be an intense clash, given everything that's happened this summer with Hugo Ekitiké and Alexander Isak.

Then it's Arsenal at Anfield. That will unquestionably be one of the most important fixtures all season as the two sides are expected to be in title contention along with Manchester City.

This campaign isn't starting off smoothly, then. Liverpool will need to shift things around to cover for Frimpong and Bradley right away.
