Injury Woes for Liverpool as Isak and Frimpong Sidelined
22 Oct
Summary
- Striker Alexander Isak forced off at half-time with groin problem
- Jeremie Frimpong also limped off with hamstring injury
- Arne Slot hopes Isak's issue is not serious, but expects Frimpong to be out for weeks
On 2025-10-23, Liverpool secured an emphatic 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League. However, the win came at a price, as the Reds suffered two key injuries during the match.
Striker Alexander Isak, who had been making his mark on the game, was forced to leave the pitch at half-time due to a groin problem. Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed hope that the issue is not too serious, stating, "I'm hoping that this isn't a bad one because if he would be out now for a few weeks that would put him back a lot."
Defender Jeremie Frimpong also had to be substituted in the first half after aggravating a hamstring injury. This was the second time this season that Frimpong has suffered a hamstring problem, and Slot expects the Dutchman to be sidelined for several weeks.
Despite the injury setbacks, Liverpool's emphatic victory over Eintracht Frankfurt has stopped their recent run of four straight defeats. The Reds will now turn their attention to their upcoming Premier League match against Brentford on 2025-10-28, followed by a Carabao Cup fourth-round clash with Crystal Palace on 2025-11-01.
