**Liverpool travel to Elland Road on Saturday to face Leeds United in the Premier League, but Arne Slot has confirmed his side will again be without Jeremie Frimpong.**
The Liverpool coach revealed that the full-back remains sidelined with the hamstring injury he suffered during October’s 5-1 Champions League win away to Eintracht Frankfurt.
Frimpong, who joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen in a £30 million summer move, has already missed eight matches and is set to be unavailable for at least three more.
The Reds host Sunderland at Anfield on Wednesday evening before making the trip to face Daniel Farke’s Leeds, with Frimpong unavailable for both fixtures.
Slot provides injury update on Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Slot did, however, offer a more positive update on fellow right-back Conor Bradley, who has returned to training following a muscle injury that kept him out for two and a half weeks.
_“Conor got into a training session yesterday for the first time — team training,”_ Slot said ahead of the midweek fixture. _“He’s not 100 per cent yet so we have to manage that a little bit, so don’t get your hopes up too soon._
_“The good thing is he’s already doing certain things with the group. We expect the same with Jeremie next week. They will both come back, but unfortunately we play a lot of games in the coming weeks. Jeremie will be training with us, but he will miss at least three more games. I hope Conor will be available for Leeds.”_
While the form Liverpool have displayed this season are hardly directly linked to their issues at right back, the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold and the lack of fitness in his replacements has certainly had an effect.
As a result, Dominik Szoboszlai has had to deputise at fullback on occasion but the sooner Slot has Frimpong and Bradley back the better.
