Liverpool Defender Jeremie Frimpong Faces Six Weeks Out with Hamstring Injury

Liverpool FC defender Jeremie Frimpong is set to miss approximately six weeks due to a hamstring injury sustained during a 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, marking his second hamstring injury of the season. This setback comes at a challenging time for Liverpool, who have lost six of their last seven matches and face a demanding schedule including fixtures against Aston Villa, Real Madrid, Manchester City, and a congested run of six games in 17 days after the international break. Frimpong, signed in the summer as a long-term successor to Trent Alexander-Arnold, has struggled to find consistency due to fitness issues and will miss key matches, including the important Africa Cup of Nations period when Mohamed Salah is absent. Liverpool’s defensive options at right-back are limited, with Conor Bradley the only fit specialist and young Calvin Ramsay and Joe Gomez possible alternatives. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers are also coping with injury challenges as tight end Pat Freiermuth deals with a quad bruise, though he is expected to play in their upcoming game against the Colts. Both teams face critical points in their seasons where health and depth will significantly impact their performance and playoff prospects.
