Liverpool’s right-back crisis deepens as defender set to miss six games with injury
Jeremie Frimpong is likely to be sidelined until the November international window while Dominik Szoboszlai suffered a minor setback in his return from injury
Liverpool's right-back crisis has intensified following Jeremie Frimpong's hamstring injury, potentially sidelining him until the international break and missing the next six games. The Dutch defender was substituted at Brentford on Saturday, enduring only a few minutes before leaving the field. Manager Andoni Iraola described the situation as "massive."
With Conor Bradley, too, doubtful to return until post-November internationals, left-back Ronald Araujo must now adapt as a makeshift right-back. Szoboszlai, another potential right-back, suffered a setback during his return from injury, but his condition has not worsened significantly. The manager noted that Araujo, who played in midfield for Barcelona before his loan at Liverpool, is prepared to continue right-back duties. Araujo expressed his contentment at Liverpool, stating he is merely happy to be part of the team.
