- Liverpool face an escalating right-back injury crisis as Jeremie Frimpong is expected to be sidelined until after the November international break following a major hamstring injury sustained against Brentford, ruling him out for six matches.
- Frimpong was introduced as a substitute in Saturday’s game, but then had to be replaced after picking up the injury, which manager Andoni Iraola described as a “massive” issue.
- Dominik Szoboszlai suffered a slight setback during his return from injury in the same match, with Iraola revealing the vice-captain will likely miss around a week of action, including fixtures against Villarreal and Brighton.
- With Conor Bradley also unavailable until after the international break, loan signing Ronald Araujo will continue to operate as Liverpool's makeshift right-back.
- Uruguay international Ronald Araujo expressed his readiness to continue playing out of position on the right side of defence for the team, though he stated it is too early to discuss whether his loan move from Barcelona will be made permanent.
