Frimpong out for weeks with hamstring injury

Liverpool defender Jeremie Frimpong faces "a few weeks" on the sidelines after sustaining a hamstring injury. Manager Arne Slot confirmed the news on Friday, stating the issue was "not as bad as we thought" it would be. Frimpong suffered the injury during Liverpool's 6-0 Champions League victory against Qarabag on Wednesday at Anfield. The Netherlands international was forced off the pitch early in the match, being replaced by midfielder Wataru Endo. This latest setback further depletes Liverpool's defensive options. Fellow right-back Conor Bradley is already sidelined for the remainder of the season with a long-term knee injury. Frimpong has endured a stop-start debut season at the club due to previous injury problems. Slot had been positive about Frimpong after medical tests, despite the initial fears.
