Liverpool’s injury woes have taken yet another turn after Sunday’s loss to Manchester City, with Lewis Steel of Mail Sport delivering a key update on several members of the squad. The journalist shed light on the conditions of Stefan Bajcetic, Jayden Danns, Alisson Becker, and Jeremie Frimpong, revealing a combination of encouraging and worrying developments ahead of the international break.
Bajcetic makes progress, but Frimpong suffers setback
According to Steel, Bajcetic has resumed light training at the AXA Training Centre after recovering from summer surgery.
> “Bajcetic has been back on the grass at the AXA Training Centre, which is a good sign after surgery in the summer,” he noted. “He could get some minutes for the Under-21s.”
That’s a promising boost for Liverpool, given how impressive the young Spaniard looked before his injury troubles.
However, the news surrounding Jeremie Frimpong was far less positive. The Dutch defender is expected to remain out for an extended period.
> “Patience is needed with that one,” Steel said, reiterating his earlier report of a minimum six-week layoff.
It’s a frustrating blow for the 24-year-old, who has endured a difficult start to life at Anfield. With Robbie Fowler recently suggesting that Liverpool’s summer transfer business may have made them “worse, not better,” this fresh setback only adds to the concerns over the squad’s depth and cohesion.
Danns injury adds to Liverpool’s concerns
Steel also shared that Jayden Danns is maintaining a positive attitude despite an uncertain recovery timeline.
> “Danns’s injury sounds nasty, though he is said to be in good spirits. I don’t have a timescale yet,” he revealed.
That lack of clarity will frustrate fans, especially after Rob Page described the 18-year-old as a potential “future England No.9.”
Alisson close to return
On a brighter note, there’s hope that Alisson Becker could make his return for Liverpool’s next Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest, with the Brazilian pushing for a quick comeback.
Sunday’s 3–0 defeat at the Etihad served as another stark reminder of how vital Liverpool’s key players are. With five losses in their last six league matches, the upcoming international break has come at an ideal time for the Reds to regroup and recover.
