Liverpool have received a positive boost, with an encouraging injury update hinting at a likely return date and raising hopes that the player could be back in action soon.

Liverpool received a positive boost on the injury front on Monday.

After weeks of missing several important players, Arne Slot now has close to a full squad available, though a few defenders remain sidelined. Giovanni Leoni is still out for several more months following his autumn ACL injury, and both Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong are currently unavailable. However, there’s finally some encouraging news regarding the latter.

Promising injury update on Frimpong
According to Lewis Steele of Mail Sport, the Dutch defender has returned to light training. He reports that “Frimpong is back on the grass and aiming to return in about two weeks, similar to Bradley.”

Liverpool’s right-back situation set for a major turnaround
If that timeline holds, Liverpool will be without the pair for their next four matches, but one or both could be back in contention for the clash with Tottenham on December 20.

The right-back position has been a major headache this season. Chris Sutton even branded it a “mess”, with Slot often forced to use Dominik Szoboszlai as an emergency defender, limiting his impact in midfield.

However, Joe Gomez’s strong display on the right in Sunday’s win over West Ham offered real encouragement. He showed he can be trusted in the role—provided he stays fit.

Slot may soon face a selection dilemma once Bradley and Frimpong return, but it’s certainly a more favourable problem than scrambling for a makeshift option in such a key area.

Frimpong has already endured two injury spells in his debut season at Anfield—Liverpool will be hoping this doesn’t become a long-term pattern.
