Liverpool’s injury problems have taken another worrying turn after Jeremie Frimpong was forced off just five minutes after coming on against Brentford.
With Liverpool enjoying a numerical advantage following Yehor Yarmolyuk’s red card, manager Andoni Iraola introduced Frimpong at half-time, replacing Ronald Araujo in an attempt to add more attacking threat and creativity down the right flank.
However, the Dutch defender’s appearance was cut short when he went down inside Liverpool’s penalty area, appearing to be in considerable pain. There were initial concerns that he may have suffered a calf or hamstring injury.
Iraola had little choice but to withdraw Frimpong and bring on Rio Ngumoha just five minutes into the second half.
The incident marked another frustrating moment for Liverpool, with Dominik Szoboszlai having already been substituted due to injury in the first half.
With important fixtures ahead, Liverpool will be hoping Frimpong’s problem is not serious as their injury concerns
