NewsJeremie Frimpong interview: Back from injury and 'ready for whatever comes'

Frimpong returned after a two-month lay-off during last Saturday’s 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur and made a key contribution to his side’s second goal of the game, as his deflected cross was headed home by Hugo Ekitike.

The Netherlands international reported that the cut lip he sustained after coming off the bench is ‘good now’ while telling Liverpoolfc.com: “It felt really good to be back out there with the boys and to win as well. So, it was a good comeback, I really enjoyed it.

“Obviously injury in football is really annoying. I think it’s the worst thing in football – that and losing. But it’s part of football. I’m focused, I’m back now so I’m happy to be back.”

Frimpong went on to state that he is ready to play again when Wolverhampton Wanderers visit Anfield on Saturday, with the No.30’s return a timely one for Arne Slot given the head coach’s shortage of options on the right flank.

Slot rates Conor Bradley’s chances of playing against Wolves at ’50-50’, while Joe Gomez (injury), Dominik Szoboszlai (suspension) and Mohamed Salah (international duty) are definitely unavailable.

Frimpong said: “I’m just going to be ready for whatever comes. As a footballer you should be ready for any situation so if I can help the team in any way possible that’s what I’m going to do.”

Liverpool head into the weekend unbeaten in six matches and having won their last three in succession.

Frimpong added: “I think it’s really important [to maintain that momentum]. Obviously we play football to win and obviously right now we are in a good mood – three wins in a row and hopefully we can just keep that going.

“But we know how difficult every game is so we’ve got to keep the mindset and just focus on every game.”
