The situation of Jeremie Frimpong remains uncertain at Liverpool, who will face Fenerbahçe in the UEFA Champions League. Manager Andoni Iraola announced that the player, who was injured in the Brentford match, has suffered a new muscle injury and it seems difficult for him to return to the squad before the international break.
Having won its first two matches in the Champions League league phase, Liverpool will host Villarreal at Anfield today for its third encounter. The English side aims to make it 3 wins out of 3 in Europe by leaving the home match victorious.
Regarding Frimpong's injury, Iraola said, "Jeremie has a new muscle injury. It happened in the second or third minute he was on the pitch. It is difficult to predict when he will return. We will have to wait for his recovery, and it is difficult to see him back in the squad before the international break."
Stating that Dominik Szoboszlai's situation is different, Iraola said there is no new injury for the Hungarian footballer. Iraola said, "It is the same as his situation last week. His injury has not worsened. We need to be a little more patient until he is fully recovered, but we do not have to wait a very long time for him to return."
Liverpool will go through a busy schedule until the international break. After the Villarreal match, the Merseyside team is expected to play against Brighton and Arsenal in the league, Chelsea in the cup, and also travel to face Fenerbahçe in the Champions League. According to reports in the British press, Frimpong is not expected to play in the 6 matches during this period.
