Liverpool have been left depleted of options at right-back at times this season after injuries to both Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley, while the Dutchman's recovery is ongoingLiverpool defender Jeremie Frimpong says he is working hard to be back in contention after suffering his latest injury setback. The Holland full-back picked up his second issue of the season during the emphatic 5-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt after pulling up in the first-half.Frimpong has been sidelined for the last five matches as a result of the problem but it comes as the latest spell sidelined for the former Bayer Leverkusen defender.

The 24-year-old was withdrawn on his Premier League debut for Liverpool against Bournemouth as he sat out of the clashes against Newcastle United and Arsenal at the beginning of the season.The full-back's problems have coincided with Liverpool struggling to deal with the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold. In light of the England international's acromonious exit, the Reds added Frimpong to compete with Conor Bradley for a starting berth at right-back but both options have suffered their respective injury issues forcing Dominik Szoboszlai to cover in the backline.READ MORE: FSG partners RedBird Capital pull £500m deal after initial agreementREAD MORE: Arne Slot fired fresh Liverpool warning as top-four point made – 'Look what happened'In a post to Snapchat, Frimpong issued a positive update where he reminded supporters that he is putting in the work on the training ground to return to the squad.He posted a picture in action with Holland with the caption: "Working hard to be back soon [strong arm]."It is the latest insight into Frimpong's recovery after posting a series of videos to his social media showing the comeback trail.He was seen doing exercises at the AXA Training Centre in Kirkby, overseen by one of the rehabilitation staff on the medical team, as well as other snippets running around the training pitch on Merseyside.Arne Slot confirmed that Frimpong would return to the fold after the international break but he faces a race to be fit to be in contention to face Nottingham Forest after the international break.The Liverpool head coach was forced to admit that he doesn't expect the Bundesliga-winning defender to be fully fit to face Sean Dyche's side at Anfield, next Saturday (November 22)."Alisson for sure and I expect Jeremie back after the international break as well because we play from November until March," said the former Feynoord boss."But I don't expect Jeremie to be fully fit for Forest, but with Alisson we expect this."Liverpool will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to Manchester City when top-flight football returns.

The Reds sit one point off the Champions League places but eight points off the title race.They will be hoping to return to winning ways but they will be buoyed by the return of Alisson Becker, despite Giorgi Mamardashvili's positive spell between the sticks.Alexander Isak was forced off in the same game against Eintracht Frankfurt last month and was only fit enough to return to the matchday squad as an unused substitute.However, he has been selected for Sweden and head coach Graham Potter has noted that he will feature if he is needed as they have two deadrubber World Cup qualifiers.For the latest news and breaking news, visit liverpoolecho.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc.
