Overview
- Frimpong suffered a hamstring injury and was withdrawn after 19 minutes against Eintracht Frankfurt, with Arne Slot confirming he is out for the near term.
- Multiple outlets report an estimated six-week layoff that has not been formally set by the club, potentially sidelining him for matches against Aston Villa, Real Madrid and Manchester City.
- The Dutch international has already missed the defeats to Brentford and Crystal Palace since the injury.
- This is his second hamstring issue of the season after an earlier problem during his Premier League debut against Bournemouth.
- Slot defended sweeping rotation and an academy-only bench in the League Cup loss to Crystal Palace, citing limited first-team availability and only Bradley fit at right-back, while Ryan Gravenberch is hopeful to return and Alexander Isak and Curtis Jones are doubtful.
