Liverpool hit by dual injuries to Szoboszlai and Frimpong
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 14:57 · Archive
Liverpool lost Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong to injuries in their match against Brentford.
Liverpool were dealt two injury blows during their 2-1 victory over Brentford on Saturday. Dominik Szoboszlai, the Liverpool vice-captain, was forced off after thirty minutes with a reaggravated hamstring. He had only recently returned to the starting eleven after missing matches against Manchester City and in European competition with the same injury.
Jeremie Frimpong sustained a separate hamstring injury just minutes after replacing Szoboszlai at half-time. He went down holding his leg and required treatment before being substituted.
Manager Andoni Iraola confirmed that Szoboszlai's injury was not new but rather a continuation of his previous problem. He suggested the midfielder could be unavailable for around a week, potentially ruling him out of upcoming fixtures against Villarreal and Brighton. Frimpong's injury was characterised as more serious, with Iraola stating it would likely keep him sidelined until the November international break, meaning he could miss approximately six games. With defender Conor Bradley also injured, Ronald Araujo will continue as a makeshift right-back.
