Frimpong was signed in the summer to replace Alexander-Arnold on the right wing. He started the opening game against Bournemouth before being taken off in the second half with a minor injury.

X-ray results confirmed that Frimpong suffered a hamstring injury, forcing him to "sit and watch" for about a month.

This is bad news for coach Arne Slot, especially in the context that he also does not have the service of Conor Bradley because he is in the process of recovery.

That means Liverpool will be without a right-back for the trip to St James Park. Joe Gomez or Wataru Endo will likely be substituted as a stopgap solution.

Speaking at a press conference, Slot said: " Jeremie has a history of injuries. Conor was out a few times last season. These things happen during the season.

Liverpool only have two injuries at the moment. Unfortunately, it's in the position area. The good thing is we have other players who can play that position.

Wataru Endo has played a few minutes, or Szoboszlai has also played at right-back. There are other options that we are considering. Joe Gomez is definitely one of them."

Frimpong had a promising start to his Merseyside career with a goal against Crystal Palace in the Community Shield.

Therefore, his absence at the beginning of the season also causes problems, because Liverpool are about to face Newcastle and Arsenal.
