Frimpong signed for Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen in May 2025 Liverpool head coach Arne Slot says Jeremie Frimpong will miss "a few weeks" with a groin injury - a better outcome than the club had feared. The versatile defender had to be substituted after four minutes of the 6-0 win over Qarabag on Wednesday. The injury means the Reds have no recognised right-backs available to face Newcastle United in the Premier League on Saturday. "He [Frimpong] will definitely not be in the squad tomorrow, " Slot said. "He is out for a few weeks, but [it's] not as bad as we thought, so something positive from something not so positive. " Frimpong, 25, who signed for the Reds in May, suffered a hamstring injury earlier this season and missed several weeks. Conor Bradley has already been ruled out for rest of the season after suffering a significant knee injury, involving damage to bone and ligament. Another regular right-back option, Joe Gomez, will also miss the game against Newcastle after a recent knock, but Slot expects him back soon. Liverpool boss Slot said striker Alexander Isak will not be rushed back from his broken leg and ankle surgery, having only just dispensed with the walking aid he has been using for support.
