Jeremie Frimpong has suffered a fresh injury setback after sustaining a hamstring problem during a friendly appearance for the Netherlands national football team against Ecuador national football team. Softfootball reports.
As revealed by Fabrizio Romano on his official X account, the Liverpool right-back was introduced as a substitute but lasted just 13 minutes before being forced off. Netherlands head coach Ronald Koeman described the situation as a “real setback,” raising concerns over the player’s availability ahead of crucial fixtures.
Romano posted:
Jeremie Frimpong has suffered a new injury, says Dutch NT coach Ronald Koeman. “That was a real setback – we had to take him off”.
The injury compounds defensive worries for Liverpool, who are already managing squad absences, including Florian Wirtz, as they prepare for key matches such as their upcoming clash with Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League.
Frimpong’s latest issue continues a frustrating pattern, having previously dealt with injury concerns earlier in the season despite strong performances following his high-profile move from Bayer Leverkusen.
Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku is facing potential disciplinary action at SSC Napoli after failing to report for training following international duty withdrawal.
