Jeremie Frimpong’s time at Liverpool has been affected by injuries and limited opportunities, and he is currently sidelined with a muscle problem. Outlets have set out his situation at Anfield, from his arrival and contract to his recovery and role in the squad.
Frimpong’s arrival and contract
Frimpong arrived at Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2025 in a deal worth around €40million (£33.4m / $44.7m). Liverpool signed him to provide competition and long-term succession at right-back.
The Empire of The Kop reports that Frimpong joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen and scored on his debut for the club in the Community Shield. TEAMtalk reports that his contract with Liverpool runs until 2030.
Injuries limit opportunities
TEAMtalk reports that Frimpong’s time at Anfield has been disrupted by injuries and limited opportunities. A recent muscle problem has kept him sidelined.
The Empire of The Kop reports that Frimpong’s time at Anfield has so far been dogged by several injury absences. He incurred the muscle problem in the victory at Brentford, when he was forced off seven minutes after his introduction as a half-time substitute.
The Empire of The Kop reports that Frimpong has also shipped criticism over the nature of some of his performances this term.
Liverpool’s right-back options
TEAMtalk reports that others, such as Ronald Araujo and Joe Gomez, have stepped in at right-back under Andoni Iraola while Frimpong has been sidelined.
The Empire of The Kop reports that Araujo is currently playing right-back for Liverpool and doing an excellent job there, although right-back is not his natural position. Araujo is on loan at Liverpool from Barcelona, and it remains to be seen whether the move will be converted into a permanent transfer.
The Empire of The Kop reports that Conor Bradley has been absent long-term and has not played for nearly a whole year, and that Bradley’s injury history is not the most auspicious.
Return and role for the season
The Empire of The Kop reports that there is hope Frimpong will become available for action once the November international break has concluded.
TEAMtalk reports that Frimpong’s focus is on his rehab and returning to competitive action.
TEAMtalk reports that Liverpool view Frimpong as part of their plans for the season and are under no pressure to sell him, with no intention of pushing for a sale in January.
TEAMtalk reports that the expectation is Frimpong will recover, work his way back into contention, and contribute over the second half of the season as Liverpool challenge domestically and in Europe.
TEAMtalk reports that Frimpong’s representatives and Liverpool are understood to be aligned on his future remaining at Anfield for now, despite an underwhelming start to life at the club.
