Jeremie Frimpong Back and Contributing for Liverpool After Hamstring Setbacks

The 25-year-old credits pilates for his recovery during Liverpool's push for a Champions League place.

Overview

  • Frimpong has returned to the starting XI with back-to-back league starts against Wolves and Leeds after months sidelined by recurring hamstring problems.
  • He has logged two assists since his comeback and was among Liverpool’s brighter performers in late December.
  • The Dutchman detailed how his debut injury and a 19-minute Champions League relapse in October extended his layoff before a Boxing Day week return.
  • Used at right-back versus Wolves and on the right wing against Leeds, he says he plays the same in either role as his pace is key; Mohamed Salah’s AFCON absence has opened minutes out wide.
  • He publicly backed close friend Florian Wirtz as a “special” talent who ignores his price tag, noting Wirtz’s recent upturn highlighted by a goal against Wolves.
