Liverpool’s right-back position has had a question mark over it since the start of the 2025-26 season. Jeremie Frimpong was the first of all Liverpool’s signings in the summer, with most fans thinking the £35million defender would be Slot’s first-choice.

Arne Slot still doesn’t think Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong can play every Liverpool game each weekRight-back has been an area of Liverpool’s team that has felt a bit like a weakness this season. Since then, fans have questioned why Slot chose to start Frimpong on the right wing rather than at right-back, with the Dutchman admitting he’d be “surprised” if players started to complain about a lack of game time when just returning from an injury.

“I don’t think so [that Bradley and Frimpong are getting frustrated] at the moment,” he said in his pre-Chelsea press conference.“Conor Bradley has been out with an injury in pre-season that brought him into the season with an injury, and Jeremie Frimpong the same.“He’s been out with an injury as well, so I would be surprised if players are complaining that they don’t play if they are injured; that would be something new to me.“They’ve came back from their injuries, but like Alexander Isak, we don’t believe it’s possible that if you’ve been out for three or four weeks with an injury, that you can play three or four games in a week.”Liverpool must beat Chelsea in their Premier League clash on SaturdayLiverpool are gearing up to face Chelsea in their last game before the international break. At the moment, it’s anyone’s guess what could happen, but for now, it feels like Slot is going to have to throw everything in his power to beat Maresca’s men on Saturday.
