Andoni Iraola has provided an injury update on Jeremie Frimpong and Dominik Szoboszlai after both players were forced off during Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Brentford on Saturday.
Dominik Szoboszlai was substituted in the 32nd minute at the Gtech Community Stadium after missing Liverpool’s previous two matches with a fitness issue.
Iraola confirmed the midfielder had suffered a recurrence of the problem.
Frimpong, meanwhile, came on at half-time but was forced off just moments later, prompting Victor Munoz to move into the right-back position.
Speaking in his post-match press conference, Iraola said: “I think we have a very delicate situation. We were coming from playing Champions League away two days ago, we arrived [home] late at night and probably with not a proper recovery.
“You are in doubt between the players that have already started two games and are very tired, or the players that are recovering from injuries but you’re probably not 100 per cent certain.
“They were different cases. Dom felt the same injury, it’s not a new injury and was probably not healed enough, so we will need more time with him. Jeremie’s was new, I think he finished cramping the other day [against LASK].
“I put him on because playing against 10, going forward I thought he could give us more than Ronald [Araujo]. After, I value a lot and he was very good, Victor playing as a right-back.
“But it will mean we will lose Dom and Jeremie for some time, yes.”
