Liverpool’s injury situation has taken another turn following their 3–0 defeat to Manchester City, with Mail Sport’s Lewis Steel providing a key update on several sidelined players. The journalist shared the latest on Stefan Bajcetic, Jayden Danns, Alisson Becker, and Jeremie Frimpong — revealing a mix of encouraging and concerning news ahead of the international break.
Steel confirmed that Stefan Bajcetic has resumed light training at the AXA Training Centre after undergoing surgery in the summer.
> “Bajcetic has been back on the grass at the AXA Training Centre, which is a good sign after surgery in the summer,” he said, noting that the young Spaniard could soon feature for the Under-21s.
That’s a positive step for the midfielder, who was one of Liverpool’s brightest prospects before injury disrupted his progress.
However, the news on Jeremie Frimpong was far less positive. Steel revealed that the Dutch full-back is expected to be out for an extended period.
> “Patience is needed with that one,” he added, reminding that Frimpong faces at least a six-week layoff.
It’s another setback for the 24-year-old as he tries to settle at Anfield — and with club legend Robbie Fowler recently questioning whether Liverpool’s summer signings have weakened the team, this latest blow only deepens concerns about depth and consistency.
As for Jayden Danns, the 18-year-old forward is reportedly in good spirits but still awaiting a clear recovery timeframe.
> “Danns’s injury sounds nasty, though he is said to be in good spirits. I don’t have a timescale yet,” Steel stated.
That uncertainty will disappoint supporters, especially after Wales manager Rob Page tipped the youngster to become “England’s next No.9 in years to come.”
Finally, there’s optimism surrounding Alisson Becker, with reports suggesting the Brazilian goalkeeper is pushing to return for Liverpool’s next game against Nottingham Forest.
The defeat to City underlined just how much the Reds miss their key players, and after five losses in six league matches, the international break couldn’t have come at a more crucial time for recovery.
