Jeremie Frimpong was forced off in Liverpool’s Champions League clash against Qarabag.

The right-back pulled up within two minutes of the game in worrying fashion. He received treatment before being replaced by Wataru Endo. Frimpong has had two hamstring injuries since joining Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen for £29.5 million last summer. The Netherlands international appeared to be clutching his groin when being treated by the Reds’ medical staff.
