Liverpool Hit by Major Right-Back EMERGENCY After Double Injury Blow Confirmed Today
Liverpool have officially plunged into a right-back crisis after the club confirmed that both Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley will be sidelined for several weeks, leaving Arne Slot without a recognised senior option in the position.
According to club sources, Frimpong picked up a muscle problem during midweek training, with scans revealing damage that will keep him out “for a number of weeks.” The Dutchman has been one of Liverpool’s most dangerous outlets this season, and his absence delivers a significant tactical setback.
Moments later, Liverpool were dealt a second blow as Conor Bradley was also ruled out after suffering an ankle issue. The 20-year-old was expected to step in for Frimpong, but medical staff have now confirmed he too faces a spell on the sidelines.
The timing could hardly be worse for Liverpool, with a congested schedule ahead and crucial Premier League fixtures fast approaching. Slot is now expected to explore emergency solutions, including shifting Joe Gomez across to right-back or fast-tracking an academy player into the first-team setup.
With two key players out simultaneously, Liverpool now face what insiders are calling a “genuine defensive emergency” at a critical stage of the campaign.
