Liverpool handed injury boost but another key player remains absent

  • Liverpool defender Jeremie Frimpong has returned to training after a hamstring injury and is set to rejoin the squad for the first time in a month.
  • Frimpong was forced off during last month’s Champions League victory over Qarabag, contributing to head coach Arne Slot's right-back issues.
  • Midfielders Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo had to fill in at right-back during Frimpong's absence.
  • The Netherlands international, who has experienced two other lengthy lay-offs this season, is now in contention for Saturday’s match against West Ham.
  • Playmaker Florian Wirtz was not seen in training photographs after pulling out of the warm-up last weekend due to a back injury, though Slot believes it is not serious.
