Liverpool star picks up new injury in major squad blow for Andoni Iraola

Frimpong suffered a new muscle injury against Brentford and will miss several weeks; Szoboszlai's hamstring recurred but is not worsened.

Liverpool defender Jeremie Frimpong picked up a new muscle injury in the second half of Saturday's 2-1 win over Brentford, forcing him off after just six minutes on the pitch. Midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai also suffered a hamstring issue in the first half, a recurrence of a previous problem. Manager Andoni Iraola said both players will be sidelined for some time, with Frimpong unlikely to return before the November international break. Szoboszlai's situation is less severe—the injury hasn't worsened—but he will require patience in his recovery.
