Liverpool have suffered a huge blow after losing Jeremie Frimpong to a hamstring issue

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has confirmed a huge blow with new signing Jeremie Frimpong set to be ruled out until after the first international break after suffering a hamstring injury.

Frimpong was signed for around £30million from Bayer Leverkusen as a direct replacement for the outgoing Trent Alexander-Arnold, who joined Real Madrid after his contract expired.

And the speedy right-back had impressed many fans with his displays during pre-season, with the player being substituted on the hour mark in their 4-2 win over Bournemouth on the opening day of the Premier League after complaining of a hamstring problem.

But Liverpool will have to make do without their new addition for the next few weeks after his frustrating set-back, with potential replacements Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez also struggling for fitness.

Bradley has only just returned from an injury issue of his own, training with the team for the first time on Thursday.

Medical team was completely right about Jeremie to take him off because he's out until the end of the international break.

We felt Jeremie had an issue in his hamstring - the medical team did.

Although we do have three left-backs at the moment!"

Should Slot determine both Bradley and Gomez aren't ready for the trip to Newcastle, he could be forced to shift either Curtis Jones or Dominik Szoboszlai there, who played right back last season and in the pre-season respectively.

Liverpool have some big games coming up as they bid to defend their Premier League title.
