Jeremie Frimpong limped out of Liverpool’s Champions League clash with Qarabag on Wednesday night after just four minutes.

The Dutch full-back started the match at Anfield but was replaced by Wataru Endo early on, after going down in pain.

It appeared that the 25-year-old had suffered a hamstring problem, which forced him out of the match and the Reds will now fear he is sidelined for a number of games to come.

Arne Slot already has problems at the back, with midfielder Ryan Gravenberch starting at centre-back alongside Virgil van Dijk against Qarabag.

Gravenberch was filling in in defence as Ibrahima Konate is unavailable for personal reasons, while Joe Gomez is sidelined through injury again.

The young Italian centre-back the Reds bought in the summer, Giovanni Leoni, remains a long-term absentee due to a serious knee injury.

If Frimpong is set for a spell on the sidelines, Slot now has a real issue at right-back as well, with Conor Bradley already out for the season.
