Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong are both out for “some time” after limping off during Liverpool’s 2-1 win at Brentford, manager Andoni Iraola has confirmed.
Szoboszlai lasted just 32 minutes before coming off with a recurrence of the hamstring injury that had kept him out earlier in October. Iraola said: “Dom felt the same injury, so that injury probably isn’t healed enough so we will need more time with him.”
Frimpong, who has struggled with fitness since arriving from Bayer Leverkusen, suffered a fresh issue. He came on as a substitute and cramped up before being withdrawn. Iraola explained: “Jeremie was new. He finished the game cramping the other day. I put him in because playing against 10 I thought he would give us more going forward than Ronald Araujo. After that, Victor Munoz was very good playing as a right-back. But it will mean we will lose Dom and Jeremie for some time.”
The injury news comes as Liverpool’s injury list continues to grow. Giovanni Leoni’s recovery from an ACL injury has been delayed: instead of returning to first-team training during the recent international break as planned, the centre-back is now not expected back until the next one, pushing his return to late November at the earliest.
Ekitike, who has been sidelined since rupturing his Achilles against Paris Saint-Germain in April, is believed to be on track to resume training next month, according to L’Equipe.
