Liverpool face injury setbacks with Frimpong and Szoboszlai
Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola has confirmed injury setbacks for key players Jeremie Frimpong and Dominik Szoboszlai following a 2-1 victory over Brentford.
Frimpong has sustained a new muscle injury that is expected to keep him sidelined for a significant period. Iraola noted that a return before the November international break appears unlikely, potentially forcing the defender to miss several upcoming matches, including fixtures against Brighton, Arsenal, and Chelsea.
In contrast, Szoboszlai’s situation is less severe. The midfielder suffered a recurrence of a hamstring issue rather than a new injury. While he will miss the upcoming Champions League match against Villarreal, Iraola stated that the condition has not worsened and that the player is in a similar recovery stage as last week. The coaching staff emphasized the need for patience to ensure a full recovery.
