Jeremie Frimpong Substituted After 13 Minutes for Netherlands With Muscular Problem

Liverpool face a right‑back shortage with key matches days away.

Overview

  • Frimpong, who entered at half-time Tuesday against Ecuador, left after about 13 minutes with what Ronald Koeman called a muscular problem.
  • Koeman said they had to take him off as a precaution, and the severity and recovery timeline have not been confirmed.
  • Liverpool await Arne Slot’s update before an FA Cup quarter-final at Manchester City this weekend and a Champions League first leg at Paris Saint‑Germain four days later.
  • Conor Bradley is out for the season with a knee injury, leaving Joe Gomez as the only natural option at right-back and raising the chance of midfielders like Dominik Szoboszlai or Curtis Jones filling in.
  • Frimpong’s debut season since arriving from Bayer Leverkusen has been disrupted by recurring hamstring and muscle issues, limiting his minutes and forcing frequent reshuffles on the right flank.
