Live from Fabrizio Romano — Major Blow at Anfield. Just days before the new season kicks off, Liverpool have been dealt a devastating setback: new signing Jeremie Frimpong has suffered a serious ACL injury during training and is expected to be sidelined for at least six months, according to Fabrizio Romano.
“Jeremie Frimpong has picked up an ACL injury in Liverpool training this week — he’s now likely to miss up to six months. A massive blow for both the club and the player. Not the way anyone wanted to start the season,” Romano reported.
The news has sent shockwaves through the club, leaving manager Arne Slot and fans stunned.
The 23-year-old right wing-back, a £40+ million signing from Bayer Leverkusen, was seen as a key addition to Slot’s new-look Liverpool, bringing pace, creativity, and attacking threat down the right flank.
Frimpong had made an immediate impression in training and was expected to play a vital role this season.
However, disaster struck on Wednesday when Frimpong went down clutching his knee after a sudden pivot during a training drill. Initial fears were confirmed after medical scans revealed a torn ACL.
He will now undergo surgery followed by a long rehabilitation process, which could rule him out well into 2026.
The timing couldn’t be worse. Not only does this injury force Liverpool to rethink their tactical approach, but it’s also a heartbreaking setback for a player eager to make an impact from day one at Anfield.
Fans across the globe are devastated. While the hope remains that Frimpong will make a full recovery and return stronger, this injury is a brutal blow at the worst possible moment — before a single ball has even been kicked.
