🚨 BREAKING: Liverpool defender to miss key early season fixtures

Liverpool's Jeremie Frimpong is set to be sidelined until after September's international break through injury.

The summer signing has sustained a hamstring issue which will keep him out of action for both club and country.

It comes as a big blow to the Reds given that the fixtures the Dutchman is set to miss are a tricky trip to Newcastle before taking on Arsenal at Anfield.

In a further concern for Arne Slot, Conor Bradley is also yet to feature this season, although he has surprisingly been included in Northern Ireland's squad for next month's World Cup qualifiers.

Utility man Joe Gomez is also a major doubt for Monday's visit to Tyneside and has not trained fully with the rest of the side this week.
