Liverpool’s injury situation has worsened following Sunday’s defeat to Manchester City, adding to the growing frustration surrounding the club’s recent form.
A detailed report from Mail Sport’s Lewis Steele has provided new clarity on the fitness of several key players. His latest updates cover Stefan Bajcetic, Jayden Danns, Alisson Becker, and Jeremie Frimpong, offering a mixed picture as the international break begins.
Steele opened with encouraging news for Stefan Bajcetic. The midfielder’s talent has been evident since his emergence last season, and signs of steady progress in his recovery will reassure supporters. His composure, technical ability, and tactical intelligence have been notably absent in a midfield still searching for consistency.
The situation surrounding Jeremie Frimpong is far more worrying. The new signing is expected to remain out for an extended period, with Steele stressing that patience will be required. His previous update suggested a minimum six-week absence, and this fresh confirmation represents an untimely setback for a player still trying to adapt to Liverpool’s system and the pace of the Premier League. The injury also disrupts the club’s efforts to incorporate him into the tactical changes made over the summer.
This development adds weight to recent concerns expressed by Robbie Fowler, who questioned whether Liverpool’s transfer business may have left the team weaker rather than stronger. Losing a player with Frimpong’s speed and creativity only intensifies that debate during a challenging run of fixtures.
Jayden Danns’ condition is described as complicated. Although the young forward remains positive, the true extent of his injury is becoming clearer. Steele referred to it as a “nasty” issue and admitted that no definitive recovery timeline can yet be provided. This uncertainty will be disappointing for fans who saw significant potential in the 18-year-old, especially after Wales manager Rob Page once suggested he could become England’s future first-choice striker.
In more positive news, Alisson Becker appears to be edging closer to a return. The goalkeeper is reportedly pushing to be available for Liverpool’s upcoming match against Nottingham Forest. Given the defensive struggles the team faced without him, particularly in the defeat to Manchester City, his comeback would be a major boost.
With Liverpool having lost five of their last six league matches, the international break could not have come at a better time. It provides an essential window for recovery and recalibration. The coming weeks, and the return of several important players, may prove decisive in determining the direction of Liverpool’s season
