Liverpool manager Arne Slot made some bold changes to his starting XI for the Champions League clash with Eintracht Frankfurt, but was forced into another after less than 20 minutesJeremie Frimpong limped off during the first half of Liverpool's meeting with Eintracht Frankfurt Jeremie Frimpong suffered an apparent hamstring injury as the Liverpool summer signing limped off during the first half of their Champions League clash with Eintracht Frankfurt. In what appeared a relatively low-key moment, Frimpong was seen pulling up and immediately holding his hamstring.

It was a particularly brutal blow for Slot, who had highlighted the importance of Frimpong in his setup at the Waldstadion. Slot made the huge call to drop Mohamed Salah from his starting XI after his below-par start to the new season.

"We are hoping and expecting Jeremie Frimpong and Cody Gakpo to create something for these two with Florian Wirtz's creativity in and around our two No.9s. Where we normally play with one [number] six, now we need Curtis and Dom to be more defensively-minded than one of the two usually is." And it quickly went from bad to worse for Slot and his charges, after the hosts opened the scoring through Rasmus Kristensen after just 26 minutes.
