BeritaPembaruan cedera LFC: Jeremie Frimpong keluar, Conor Bradley kembali berlatih

Frimpong ditarik pada jam kemenangan Liga Premier The Reds atas AFC Bournemouth Jumat lalu dengan keluhan hamstring.

Dan penandatanganan musim panas akan dikesampingkan karena masalah itu untuk pertandingan mendatang melawan Newcastle United dan Arsenal.

Bradley, sementara itu, kembali dalam sesi dengan para juara karena dirinya dikeluarkan dari FA Community Shield dan bentrok dengan Cherries.

“Conor berlatih selama beberapa menit bersama kami hari ini untuk pertama kalinya,” pelatih kepala Slot melaporkan ketika ditanya tentang kebugaran skuad pada konferensi pers pra-Newcastle.

“Tim medis benar-benar benar tentang Jeremie untuk memberi tahu saya bahwa mereka harus melepaskannya, karena dia absen sampai akhir jeda internasional dan itu terjadi dalam pertandingan.

“Saya sudah mengatakan segera setelah pertandingan bahwa itu tidak ada hubungannya dengan cara dia bermain, tetapi kami merasa dia memiliki masalah dengan hamstringnya. Dan dengan 'kami' maksud saya bukan saya, tetapi staf medis. Dan mereka benar-benar benar.

“Jadi, panggilan yang bagus untuk melepaskannya, kalau tidak dia mungkin akan keluar lebih lama. Dan kami berharap untuk memilikinya kembali setelah jeda internasional.”

Elsewhere, Joe Gomez made his return to the pitch during the second half of the Premier League opener after departing the pre-season tour with a minor injury.

Slot was asked if he has any concerns about the fitness of his options for right-back.

“No, Jeremie has a very positive injury record. Conor has been out once or twice last season. These things happen in a season,” the Dutchman replied.

“We only have at the moment two injuries, unfortunately it is two for the same position. But the good thing is some others can play in that position as well. Wata [Endo] played in that position for a few minutes, Dominik Szoboszlai already played in that position.

“So, there are other options we can explore. Joe Gomez is definitely one of them, but for him to play already 20 minutes, that was already quite a lot. I wouldn’t say he had a setback but he wasn’t able to train three days in a row completely with the team.

“Which is completely normal if you’re out for so long and all of a sudden the manager needs you for 20 minutes. But he is training with the team, so let’s see where he is on Monday, if he can be involved in the team or if he can even start.

“But there are other options we have as well in this position. It’s just you cannot prepare for two injuries in one position, it would be stupid for us to have three full-backs or five left-backs.

“Although we have three left-backs at the moment! So we’re unlucky that the right full-backs are injured.”
