Liverpool defender Jeremie Frimpong will be excluded until after the international break in September.
That means that the Dutch defender – who was thrown away during the Premier League against Bournemouth – will miss the crucial matches of Liverpool against Newcastle on Monday and Arsenal on the following Sunday. Both games are live on Sky Sports.
“The medical team was absolutely right about Jeremie, to tell me that I had to play him because he was out until the end of the international break.
“I think I was a bit criticized by taking him out. [The medical staff] Felt that he had a problem in his hamstring. Good phone call to take him off, otherwise he might be out for longer. We expect to have him back after the international break. “
Conor Bradley is currently also injured – but Slot said that he returned to the training with the first team on Thursday. Joe Gomez is another right back option in the team.
“Conor played with us for a few minutes today, for the first time,” said Slot.
