Jeremie Frimpong was forced off the pitch in the opening four minutes of action after picking up a suspected hamstring injury.
The Dutchman pulled up early in Liverpool’s Champions League encounter with Qarabag at Anfield after tracking back to defend a counter.
Wataru Endo replaced the right-back, leaving Arne Slot’s men with a further depleted backline.

Frimpong was caught gesturing to his groin while surrounded by Liverpool teammates, moments before on-field referee Ivan Kružliak gestured for physios to enter the pitch.
Further reporting has since indicated that the issue may actually concern the fullback’s hamstring, judging by one update from The Athletic’s James Pearce.

Frimpong’s injury record at Liverpool has been dismal
With 18 games missed for club and country since his move to Anfield, it’s fair to say that the 25-year-old’s time at L4 has not been characterised by marked availability.
Season Days out injured
2021/22 11 (ligament tear)
2022/23 0
2023/24 2
2024/25 0
2025/26 18*

Mind, it’s worth highlighting that this is Jeremie Frimpong’s first Premier League campaign, following his summer move away from Bayer Leverkusen.
So, it’s fair to assume that a period of physical acclimation was, and is, necessary.
Liverpool are out of right-backs
With the right-back potentially set for a lengthy spell in the treatment room, it means Liverpool are now without senior cover in the position.
Conor Bradley is out for the rest of the 2025/26 season after having sustained a serious knee injury in the 0-0 draw against Arsenal.
Calvin Ramsay is technically available, although he’s not currently eligible for the competition.
